Comment(by martinl):

 Replying to [ticket:1251 cmbarton]:
 > I originally thought this was a weird bug but it seems to be a new
 feature that needs to be tweaked somewhat. Apparently, a new filtering
 function has been added to the file selection drop

 Filtering map names has been implemented in r44638, besides
 collapsing/expending mapset by left/right arrow. It was designed as the
 first step to make selection widget usable for long list of maps.

 > down to make it easier to find files in long lists within a mapset. This
 is a good thing in general. But the filter is on all the time with no
 visual indication that it is active, leading a user to think that his/her
 files have disappeared when editing layer properties.

 In r44715 is filtering disabled when item is found (on full match). The
 widget should indicate that it offers only selection of items.
