It would be nice to restore old "type-to-select-file" behavior in gtk+:3 windows instead of modern "recursive search". Upstream developers claim (https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=748672) that it's a cool feature, while it's the most annoying thing in the toolkit. Moreover, a workaround exists for Arch Linux (https://aur.archlinux.org/packages/gtk3-typeahead/). I propose you to add IUSE="typeahead" and do epatch "typeahead.patch" to give the users the right to choose Reproducible: Always emerge --info output: Portage 2.2.28 (python 2.7.10-final-0,

Created attachment 436532 [details, diff] remove recursive search on type
*** Bug 609030 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
Created attachment 526692 [details, diff] Updated version of the patch for latest gtk3 A friend prepared a patch for the latest version of GTK3, posting as per his request. USE flag this patch adds is not enabled by default, so merging it will only affect people who explicitly opt into using it.
Created attachment 871456 [details, diff] version for /etc/portage/patches/x11-libs/gtk+:3 This is a version of the patch we can put directly in /etc/portage/patches/x11-libs/gtk+:3 Tested fine with x11-libs/gtk+-3.24.38::gentoo And I agree, the original behaviour of that widget is the most annoying "feature" of this toolkit.
We aren't going to be adding custom behavior changing patches to old slots of GTK (or new ones, but with old ones we'd be stuck with them forever).
