Hi all,

This is a regression I noticed a year or more ago and I hoped that it would be
noticed by someone else too, but unfortunately, it wasn't.
I can't say when it was introduced exactly, but I checked using Kubuntu 18.04
and 20.04, and while the first isn't affected by this yet, the second is. 

Now on my side (Manjaro unstable) it works as follows:
I navigate to /etc, where I have “sysctl.d”, “systemd” folders and
“sysctl.conf” file, and when I type “sys” the selection goes to “sysctl.d”
folder, but if I type that again some seconds later, the selection won’t move
on to the next item, which is “systemd”, and the next iteration of typing “sys”
does not move to the “sysctl.conf” file, instead, every time only the first
entry beginning with “sys” is receiving selection focus, which is “sysctl.d”
folder in this case, and that’s frustrating. Moreover, this behavior isn’t
observed when trying the same with KDE file picker – there it works as I expect
it to work – the way it used to work before something went wrong between KDE
Applications 17.12.3 and 19.12.3 (according to versions used in Kubuntu 18.04
and 20.04). Other info from those distros:
bionic: KDE Plasma: 5.12.9, Frameworks: 5.44.0
focal: KDE Plasma: 5.18.5, Frameworks: 5.68.0
