The 'Save As' properties field has issues with autocomplete

Just a small notice.. The save as field in 'properties' has a problem with entering text, which at
the beginning may match the original.

Try this:

Make sure c:\tmp\ is known to the box, then type exactly the same thing..

The first that happens (if the entire field is selected, as it normally is upon entering the field) is
that the caret jumps right behind all text, which is normal.
Then pressing the character C does nothing, when typing ':' the C disappears, and so on.

If you remove text in the field, and try to type c:\download\ instead:

when entering C then 'c:\tmp\' is marked and selected, next char ':' results in removing all text
except the ':'.

Most often you'll use the Browse dialing, but for such names, and when the text is editable, it should do
so correctly I think.
