I opened NB this morning and it updated automatically. I'm not sure what changed, but I'm currently on Build 201408251540. I often use Go To File, but the behavior has just changed. It previously selected the first matching file, and all I had to do was hit the Enter/Return key to open the file. This is ideal, as NB usually lists the file I want to open at the top (or there's only one match). Now I have to use the down cursor key to choose the first file. It's not a huge issue, but restoring the previous functionality would be much appreciated, as it's a time saver, and eliminates a generally unnecessary keystroke. Thanks!
The first file is always selected after pressing backspace or retyping any character of the search string. The first file is in some cases selected automatically when typing normally, but usually not. It might be a timing issue, because if I hit shortcut for Go to File and type one character (and then close the dialog) multiple times, sometimes the first file is selected, sometimes not.
