It is, unless you've explicitly moved focus else where with keyboard.

Clicking on buttons doesn't change focus to them.

I.e. this is a problem only when you mix mouse and keyboard
navigation.  Currently File selector cannot be used with
keyboard so mouse is (also) needed.

Changing Cancel & Enter button places, so that one can use
End+Enter to accept the selection could help a bit.


Besides that there are few options:

1. Somebody adds full keyboard navigation to file selector
   so that selection can also be done with keyboard etc
2. Keyboard navigation & focus are disabled for file selector
   and Enter is added back as default selection when there's
   no focus

If somebody doesn't provide 1) before next release, I need to do 2).
