wxGTK2 save file dialog

Hi,
the save file dialog from wxPythonGTK2 is weird compared to that of GTK1. It doesn't do automatic completion of the file name suffix from the selected wildcard and pressing return or tab after entering a name doesn't do anything. Furthermore when clicking on 'save' it changes directory to some subfolder if there is one.
Is this behaviour related to wxPython or is that GTK2 specific. Can this be circumvented from wxpython?
Regards, Christian

The main difference is that the one used in a GTK1 build is a generic version implemented by wxWidgets, and the one used when built for GTK >= 2.4 is a native GTK dialog.

It doesn't do automatic completion of the file name suffix from

the selected wildcard

This one may be fixable. Please enter a bug report about it.

and pressing return or tab after entering a name doesn't do anything.

This is just how the native dialog works. I don't think it can be changed.

Furthermore when clicking on 'save' it changes directory to some subfolder if there is one.

I can't duplicate this.

I just checked it again. It happens when ommiting the 'defaultDir' keyword or setting it to "". Btw. gimp2, which is a gtk2 application written in c behaves the same.
