Please describe the problem:
Hi!,
in filechooser, you press some letters so typeahead appears and selects the file you want, now you move the mouse pointer and click on "Open" button to open file... when you do this, the first click makes the typeahead disappears, thats good, now you make a second click to open the file but the button doesnt respond and you cant open the file... it seems there's a focus bug because the workaround is to leave the button area, enter it again and now you can click and the file gets opened...

Steps to reproduce:
I already explained it.


Actual results:


Expected results:


Does this happen every time?

Yet another variation of this bug: As bug 508082 describes, button also miss mouse entering, when some other window has grabbed the pointer. We should consider this case, when fixing bug 56070.
