Notepad++ File dialog issue on Windows 10

I've been using notepad++ since I can remember, and when I tried to open or save a file it always used to look like this:

enter image description here

So I could easily copy the full path of the file I was opening/saving, but since a couple months ago, when I upgraded to windows 10 I noticed something got weird:

enter image description here

It no longer allows click the "Look in:" and copy the full path, it will just open a dropdown menu with multiple locations to pick from...

Is not that big of a deal, there are another ways to easily accomplish what I want, but is hard to drop old habits like that, and it's been driving me crazy lately.

I have looked for the issue online but couldn't find anyone bothered with this.

I believe it's not due to Windows 10, but rather an option in the Notepad++ settings:

Settings > Preferences... > Default directory > Enable the Use the new style dialog option.

I have the same dropdown menu on Windows 7. If I enable that option in the preferences, the open/save dialog changes to what you describe, with an editable path bar.
