Bug description:
* Impact
The focus gets removed from the search entry widget in the fileselector while
typing which makes it difficult to use
* Test case
Steps:
1. Open Gedit
2. Choose Open -> Other Documents... to open a GtkFileChooserDialog
3. Press on the search button next to Open
4. Type what you are searching for
Expected behaviour:
Focus remains in the search input until I finish typing then results come up
What happens instead:
Searching stops after I enter the first characters because focus is lost from
the search input
* Regression potential
The change is desactivating/reactivating typeahead in the gtk
fileselector, check that this feature keeps working as it should
(keyboard navigate by typing the first chars of a file/folder, that
should move the focus to the first matching item and allows to
navigate by hitting enter)
------------------------------------
I have noticed that after upgrading to GNOME 3.20 on Ubuntu GNOME
16.04 that the built-in search functionality is almost impossible to
use in the GTK file chooser (though it is the same one that allows you
to save files as well as choose them).
So if one types something into the search, after they have typed the
first letter it will immediately select the top search result meaning
one has to re-select the search box, this happens for every letter so
searching for a long string becomes very annoying. If one carries on
typing once it has selected the top result and unselected the search
box it will start searching in the other search which only looks at
results.
