File Roller extract window always selects a sub-folder if present

Have noticed this behaviour in FC4-test File Roller 2.10.0, which wasn't there
in 2.8.1

When selecting a location to extract an archive, if there is already a
sub-folder in this location, it will be highlighted by default and the archive
will be extracted into the sub-folder.

For example, if a new user extracts an archive, the extract window will default
to the users home folder - but will also have selected the Desktop sub-folder as
the destination (as it's the first sub-folder). The only way to extract directly
to the home folder is to navigate to /home and hightlight the correct home
folder in the file pane.

Unless I'm missing the point and this is the desired behaviour?

Jon Escombe.
