Description Alexandre Prokoudine 2013-08-27 21:28:10 UTC 
I have a list of video files in a folder, and they mostly follow the same naming pattern. When I press Ctrl+O to open a new file, Totem is trying to be too helpful and shows a screen-height large list of suggestions based on the name of the currently opened file.

So I need to dance around the dialog to make this list of suggestions go away and pick the file I actually need.

Please make this annoying thing go away.

This is Totem 3.8.2 from Fedora 19, if that's of any help.

That's not Totem, that's the default GTK+ file chooser.
