In KDE4, I think I first saw this mess in konqueror when I went to save
a
web page. I had already saved a similar page and my thought was to choose
the previously saved filename and then add -01 at the end of the name and
save. As soon as I chose the filename, the dialog immediately closed,
selecting the original filename and then immediately proposed to overwrite
the very file I wanted to keep. This is the nuttiest half-Gnome
bastardization of the very core of a desktop that is wholly unacceptable.

It doesn't do that on my system. File a bug for it if it's a real problem, but
so far I haven't seen it behave that way.

Are you sure you didn't double-click? Double-clicking has the effect of
"select and go", but a single click should just select it
