From my experience, this also affects open dialog, and causes further
trouble because the keyboard operations actually go to the browser
window underneath.

Faulty scenario:

- I want to attach a file on a form (in a GitHub https://github.com/
issue), so it opens a file dialog.

- I try to copy-paste the path into the file dialog, using Ctrl+L
followed by Ctrl+V and Enter.

- But all of these shortcuts (Ctrl+L, Ctrl+V, Enter) actually go to the
browser window underneath the dialog box (even though the file open
dialog is shown in the front). So instead of changing path in the GTK
dialog box, I accidentally change the URL in Firefox address bar, and
change the page to something else.

- To make things absurd, I can try opening more "file open" and "file
save" dialogs and land in a weird UI with multiple file dialogs waiting
for my input. Multiple dialogs are shown, in some input is blocked by
others.
