When in this mode, if you type and hit enter, the box goes away and nothing appears to happen. It isn't clear that the box is even there because it's not in the visual field. It appears that nothing happens, including enter. After hitting enter and trying to type again, the box reappears. Unless you pay close attention what is happening this is both very non-obvious and frustrating. I don't understand the bug's comment because I've never tried to use Alt-S or Alt-E in that dialog. I suspect the bug report is simply poorly phrased out of frustration, which I can completely relate to. How is this popup search even useful when there's already search built in to the file name input? I would agree the popup should be removed/disabled. Arrow up/down work in it but Page up/down doesn't. Arrow up/down, left/right, and Page up/down all work (mostly) reasonably when used from the file name input. Worst of all, if you select a file from the multiple choice file name input and then arrow up/down, you're in the file chooser portion and typing uses the popup search instead of the file name search you just came from. Personally, I hit this frequently and think this behavior is an extraordinarily frustrating usability disaster.
