No, this has been the case starting with the very first version of the
file chooser. And I keep pointing people to it over and over again.

Sure, discoverability of this feature is somewhat poor. But most
GTK+ tree and list views allow to be navigated using typeahead.
The file-chooser behaves consistently.

When do you need to use "Select file type"? Perhaps we should just
remove it, but then there are some very rare cases where it is
needed. A solution would be to ask the user for the file-type in case
it cannot be determined automatically. That would effectively move the
file-type selection to an extra dialog that most users would never
see.
