Cannot search in "Open with" dialog

Hello, since Gnome 49 update when using ‘open with’ it is no longer possible to start typing application name to use with open. For example, typing letters ‘te’ would narrow applications to one starting with that letters, such as ‘Text Editor’.

For now it is only possible to scroll trough list of available applications, wich is cumbersome and downgrade to what was available in previous versions of Gnome.

Is this something that is a ‘bug’ or is it consider state of a Gnome Files Manager?

Thanks in advance

Hi, it’s a known issue caused by regression in gtk: “Open With” application chooser search is broken in Nautilus (#7770) · Issues · GNOME / gtk · GitLab
