Bug Description

Upstream bug:
https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1572

Steps:
1. Open Gedit
2. Choose Open -> Other Documents... to open a GtkFileChooserDialog
3. Press on the search button next to Open
4. Type what you are searching for

Expected behaviour:
Focus remains in the search input until I finish typing then results come up

What happens instead:
Searching stops after I enter the first characters because focus is lost from the search input
