I observed this issue when opening a file selector in Chrome and Firefox. It took about 10 seconds to open a file selector, and moving to a subdirectory also took several seconds. This issue didn't occur in other applications such as gedit and Files, so it may be different from the one discussed here.
Plus, judging from the fact that removing the GNOME implementation for xdg-desktop-portal solved the issue in my case, is it an issue of xdg-desktop-portal-gnome rather than GTK? It seems I'm currently using the GTK implementation. ``` $ apt list --installed | grep xdg-desktop-portal WARNING: apt does not have a stable CLI interface.

Often times, if I try to search for a file in it, I have to wait 10 or more second before the letters I typed appear, and most of the time the last letter I pressed when typing, will appear before the rest of what I wrote, meaning I have to wait for my query to be deleted before I re-type it again. This has only just started since upgrading to Ubuntu 23.04. I noticed that Nautilus has been faster in general since the update, but in the file selector specifically, it's become unusable.
