unexpected filename change in 'save to' dialog

When using the 'Enter name of file to save to' dialog when choosing where to save a file (e.g. when using a browser to download something), the pre-filled filename sometimes spontaneously switches to the name of another, existing file. This only seems to happen when I first click the button in the dialog that allows me to create a new folder.

So, say the pre-filled filename is downloadme.pdf, and the dialog is showing the contents of /some/path, which includes a file named existingfile.pdf.

I click on the create folder button and enter a new folder name, e.g. 'subfolder'.

Now the dialog shows the contents (currently empty) of /some/path/subfolder, which is as expected, but the pre-filled filename is now existingfile.pdf, whereas I expect it to still be downloadme.pdf.

Has anyone else seen this?

If this is likely a bug, where should I report it? https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfdesktop? https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/thunar? Somewhere else?
