Bug Description
When Nautilus is called from another app, e.g., Thunderbird > Attach File to email (or Gedit > Save file) the search (via the magnifying glass icon in the top right) only allows for 1 character to be entered, and then jumps to the bottom right and subsequent characters appear there.
This behavior, of course, messes up the expected search results as the search is split into two fields/areas of the panel.
In contrast, when opening up a Nautilus browser panel directly, any search query entered from the magnifying glass icon stays in the text entry area as expected, and the search results work well.
The expectation is that when another app calls Nautilus, the search function works as if it does when working directly out of Nautilus.
