From Ubuntu bug report: Create a new text document. Press ctrl-S to save (or click the "floppy" button). In the file dialog enter a file name "test". Press ctrl-A to select the whole file name, then ctrl-C to copy it. Press Enter to save (or click on the save button). Result: The file dialog hangs for several seconds, then closes. Back in the document, typing is slow, the applications seems to hang for seconds at a time. Pressing ctrl-V to paste the file name into the document takes seconds. == This has been verified on official OOo with the gnome dialog.
I have the same problem in 3.0.1, and as far as I remember I had it in 2.4x before.
