Bug Description
Typing a file name in a thunar window (optionally pressing Ctrl+F first) normally selects the file whose name matches the entered text. After upgrading from Ubuntu 18.04 to 19.04, this feature started randomly breaking after a single character is entered.
To reproduce (sometimes):
1. Open a thunar window to a directory full of files.
2. Before doing anything in that window, Alt+Tab to a different window.
3. Alt+Tab back again.
4. Type the name of a file in the open directory.
5. Notice that, sometimes, the input text box stops accepting input after the first letter of the file name.

Somewhere between the last 2 Thunar releases "finding" a file/folder by typing its name stopped working on random intervals.
Expected behavior: I should be able to write the whole name of the file/folder I am looking for
Actual behavior: At random intervals (ie, cannot be replicated every single time) Thunar will only take the first letter of the input and ignore any other keyboard input after it - including Enter or ctrl+key - Esc may be an exception.
There is no reliable way to reproduce this behavior.
