Public bug reported:
(I'm not sure this is the correct package to file the bug against)
The (I assume) GTK 3.0 File chooser dialog doesn't allow searching files
with a dot.
In the previous, but working, File chooser, in order to search files,
the typeahead would be used. In order to search dotfiles (files starting
with dot), one would enable display of hidden files if required, then
just type the filename (starting with the dot character).
With the new search functionality, the dot character is not searched (or
not considered valid, it's not clear), so one can't search dotfiles, and
they need to manually go through the files in order to find the intended
one(s).
In order to reproduce, for example:
- Open a webpage in Firefox
- Click "Save As..." on an image
- Tap Ctrl+H, if the hidden files are not displayed
- Tap Ctrl+F, in order to search
- Tap dot (`.`)
no files show.
I hope this is not another case of the (in)famous group of devs who's
trying to reduce the whole desktop experience to a single blinking dot.
