Forgot to say, I've attached a screencast which hopefully will attract the attention of someone able to fix this and to make a decision on how to proceed. As you can see, when searching, unless you type extremely fast, the first character is search and then the rest are dedicated to type-ahead, not achieving any of the desired results (type ahead starts with the second character).

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 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/gtk/+bug/1592177/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
