"File Open" dialog: when "Recently used" is active one cannot type a path
In Gimp and Inkscape, when I launch the "File Open" dialog (ctrl-o), I can press "/" to get into the "Location" input field (or just type some letter, I have not found out yet exactly when one has to first press "/" and when not...).
There is one exception: when the "Recently used" section is active, the "/" key does nothing and the letter keys do not start the typing either.
(I've been made aware that there is a workaround: pressing the arrow down key...)
This inconsistency is made more visible by Gimp choice to automatically activate the "Recently used" section when no document is open yet.
Steps to reproduce
- In Gimp or Inkscape...
- ctrl-o
- make sure that the "Recently used" section is active
- type "/"
Current behavior
Nothing happens.
Expected outcome
The "Location" input field is shown and gets the focus.
Version information
Happens on Debian testing with the current versions of Gimp and Inkscape.
Additional information
