UI: a file selection bug on Linux

#1

Here is a minor annoying issue that comes up when opening files on Linux. It’s a little peculiar as it does not happen in all cases.

Steps:

  1. start opening a file
  2. type a prefix
  3. observe two or more matches
  4. press the down arrow to select the second, while having a subset of the file name still selected
  5. press enter

Issue: ST4 opens a new file with the partial name, instead of the selection. Attaching a screen shot to clarify.

ST uses default OS open file dialog. The behavior is not something ST can influence.
