Have noticed this behaviour in FC4-test File Roller 2.10.0, which wasn't there
in 2.8.1
When selecting a location to extract an archive, if there is already a
sub-folder in this location, it will be highlighted by default and the archive
will be extracted into the sub-folder.
For example, if a new user extracts an archive, the extract window will default
to the users home folder - but will also have selected the Desktop sub-folder as
the destination (as it's the first sub-folder). The only way to extract directly
to the home folder is to navigate to /home and hightlight the correct home
folder in the file pane.
Unless I'm missing the point and this is the desired behaviour?

I think that this issue is a GNOME wide issue. Anything that uses
GNOME's file-selection dialog tends to do this.
Eg. When selecting where to save a file in Mozilla Firefox it will
automagicly select a folder. This is somewhat irritating even if you can
go in and manually select a folder...
Its more of a usability thing than a major problem, but it is a PITA.

it is a desired effect . you don t have to create a destination folder
it does this automaticly . its a but in macro ...it saves a step . you
will get use to it . it is a gnome wide issue and an improvement to the
desktop
