This is more of a minor annoyance but has disrupted my workflow.
Previously if I wanted to rapidly filter a long file list I would go:
Control J - and then immediately type my filter for example cats, and hit enter. And it worked every time.
Since I updated to 28.40.02 this no longer works, but even worse has a variable outcome.
If I have never filtered on cats before, then it does work. However it it matches a possible previous filter on the dropdown, then the [Enter] simply accepts the value and it is necessary to hit enter twice. This means that you need to watch the dialog, and sometimes hit enter once, and sometimes twice, which really slows things down. It never worked this way previously. Is there some way it could be reverted? It makes things very "non automatic" when working with the keyboard, and you really don't want to hit that second [enter] when it is going to do something completely different...
