Save as dialog forcibly appends "\Downloads" to selected directory in Windows

[ghost]

After opening a .torrent file with a fresh instance of qBittorrent v3.2.3, a dialog appeared to confirm the save path. I noticed that it had defaulted to C:\Users\<username>\Documents\Downloads and can see that someone has already filed a bug regarding that.

In any case, I wanted to change it to the standard Downloads shell folder as implemented in Windows but it is impossible to do that. This is what happens:

1. I click the Browse button to open the "Choose save path" dialog
2. I locate the Downloads directory in the left pane (by any of several means) then select it
3. I click the Save button
4. Rather than the dialog being dismissed, it descends into the Downloads directory
5. In the file name field, "Downloads" is shown as the text and cannot be edited. I click Save again.
6. The dialog is dismissed with the chosen path being C:\Users\<username>\Downloads\Downloads

Further, because a combo box is used to show the path in the "Save as" dialog, I cannot manually edit the path in order to work around this issue.

What I would like is to be able to browse for - and select - the directory of my choice, without this sub-directory being forcibly appended. It would also be nice to be able to be able to type in the desired path, which a combo box does not allow.

Does your testing torrent have a root folder named "Downloads"?

No. The torrent I opened contained only the following file at its root:

antergos-minimal-2015.07.01-x86_64

I deleted %APPDATA%\qBittorrent and went through the procedure again, allowing the transfer to begin. It actually seems to be a cosmetic issue because the aformentioned file does end up residing in C:\Users\<username>\Downloads. Otherwise, everything in my initial report holds true i.e. the behaviour mentioned in the numbered steps is as stated. What's most odd is that the combo box shows a path different to where the file is actually saved.

OK, I'll mark this for 3.2.4 so I can remember to take a look after my vacations.

This is fixed by #2633 (and #3277)
