Can't select search results with keyboard (regression from 3.28 to 3.30)
Steps to reproduce
- Type to search.
- Press the arrow down key.
Expected behavior (and 3.12 behavior)
- Focus changes to files view.
- Second search result is selected (assuming list view).
3.28 and earlier behavior
- Focus changes to files view.
- First search result remains selected. Must press arrow down again to select 2nd result.
Current behavior (3.30.0)
- Nothing happens. Focus remains in the search entry.
- Available keyboard-only alternative is pressing [Tab] at least 17 times.
In practice, one is forced to use a pointing device, which is not convenient because the hands were already on the keyboard from typing the search query.
Comment
This may need a more proper fix going forward with Gtk+4. More context in #385 (closed).
But for 3.30 it would be nice to fix the regression from 3.28.
