You cannot triple click to select the entire file name when saving a gif.

Triple click should behave like CTRL+A and select the entire line. (Try triple clicking this line to see the behavior I am talking about)

Triple clicking requires less accuracy than clicking and dragging, it is easier than trying to press ctrl-a, (and is faster since my hand is already on my hosue), and is a supported in many places.

I bumped into this issue yesterday. I saw that I'm using the wrong text box type for that field. I just need to switch. Thanks.

I already have a visual element for that purpose. It's called ExtendedTextBox, already in the solution.

Ah didn't realize that, however ExtendedTextBox only does SelectAll() when the textbox receives focus, but doesn't allow for triple clicking which I do through PreviewMouseLeftButtonDownEvent and checking if (e.ClickCount == 3)

But I can merge my code into ExtendedTextBox instead of complicating the codebase.
