Ido-mode and similair named files

I'm having a problem on my Linux(Mint) box with ido-mode and similar named files. If I have a file name myseq.ml~ and I want to create a file named myseq.ml(myseq.ml doesn't exist) with C-x C-f, I can't find a way to ignore ido-mode's choices. The ido-mode keeps choosing myseq.ml~.

My .emacs file's entry for ido-mode:

(setq ido-enable-flex-matching t)
(setq ido-everywhere t)
(ido-mode 1)

Once ido-mode has suggested a filename that is close to what you want, you can use C-f to exit ido-mode and edit the filename normally.
