I think the reason it was implemented like this is that when you get
the filename prompt (like when you try to find a file), it is already
filled with current directory, like:

Find file: /home/alpha/

Now you can open absolute path by just typing the it without the need
to clean the prompt:

Find file: /home/alpha//etc/passwd

will open /etc/passwd. However I don't claim this is compliant in any
way :)
