From my experience, this also affects open dialog, and causes further trouble because the keyboard operations actually go to the browser window underneath.

Faulty scenario:

- I want to attach a file on a form (in a GitHub https://github.com/ issue), so it opens a file dialog.

- I try to copy-paste the path into the file dialog, using Ctrl+L followed by Ctrl+V and Enter.

- But all of these shortcuts (Ctrl+L, Ctrl+V, Enter) actually go to the browser window underneath the dialog box (even though the file open dialog is shown in the front). So instead of changing path in the GTK dialog box, I accidentally change the URL in Firefox address bar, and change the page to something else.

- To make things absurd, I can try opening more "file open" and "file save" dialogs and land in a weird UI with multiple file dialogs waiting for my input. Multiple dialogs are shown, in some input is blocked by others.
