** Description changed: 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. + + Upstream bug: + https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1572 + + 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 + + ProblemType: Bug + DistroRelease: Ubuntu 18.04 + Package: libgtk-3-0 3.22.30-1ubuntu1
