Screenshots are already there. Now the location entry is within the file dialog instead of a pop up but everything else is pretty much the same.
A step by step procedure is also above. If you have the location bar but don't have autocompletion, press Ctrl + l (L downcase) two times and it should work. If you cannot reproduce it, then we must have different things installed. I am in Kubuntu Hardy and have very few gnome programs (gimp, inkscape, synaptic, probably that is all). It happens with synaptic and inkscape and it doesn't happen with gimp.
And I said above: "I can reproduce this here in this very same webpage in Firefox 3 in Hardy whenever I wish with several files. It also happens in gmail. I forgot to mention that I can also reproduce this in safe mode."
This is not really big deal. This fails so reliably that I know already that the autocompletion will cut the filename. The workaround is to delete the last letter and type it again.
