MATE on Ubuntu 22.04 / Caja file manager issue: File download window: Search begins when trying to alter the name of a file

I am a MATE user, because I need a task bar that lists the opened windows in a multi-screen environment. I have been using MATE for over 10 years on CentOS and recently switched to Ubuntu 22.04. I installed the MATE Desktop for Ubuntu and am experiences issues with the file manager. On my laptop I installed Ubuntu MATE directly, while I installed the regular Ubuntu 22.04 on my workstation and then installed MATE afterwards.

On both machines I have the same issue:

  1. I open a browser (Firefox or Chrome) go to a website and try to download a file. Then the file manager opens and asks me where I want to save the file. The preselected location is always /run/user/.... .
  2. Then I am choosing a different location, let's say /home/user/.
  3. Then I click in the field with the file name and try to change the name of the file. In the moment I type the first letter in this field, a search field below the field for the filename appears that contains the letters that I typed. At the same time, the file manager starts searching for files with the characters that I typed.

It is literally impossible to rename a file that I try to download. It always starts searching for the entered characters instead of editing the filename. I am forced to save the file with whatever name it has and rename it afterwards (e.g. in the terminal).

This was not an issue when I was using MATE for CentOS, but it is a consistent issue under MATE for Ubuntu, which drives me nuts. Does anyone have an idea how to fix this?

Most people don’t grasp that asking a lot of questions unlocks learning and improves interpersonal bonding. In Alison’s studies, for example, though people could accurately recall how many questions had been asked in their conversations, they didn’t intuit the link between questions and liking. Across four studies, in which participants were engaged in conversations themselves or read transcripts of others’ conversations, people tended not to realize that question asking would influence—or had influenced—the level of amity between the conversationalists.
