Title:
  In Files (Nautilus), “Select Items Matching” doesn't work in “View
  items as list” mode

Status in Nautilus:
  New
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  [The bug]
  File selection by the “Select Items Matching” tool doesn't work in Files (Nautilus) when the view mode is set to “View items as list”. When the pattern containing * or ? is entered in the “Select Items Matching” dialogue, only one item matching the pattern is selected instead of all matching items. The selection works fine in “View items as a grid of icons” mode.

  [Test case]
  1. Open a folder in Nautilus containing, for example, several pdf files.
  2. Switch to “View items as list” mode by pressing Ctrl+1 or by View -> List or by pressing the corresponding button in the right part of the toolbar.
  3. Open the “Select Items Matching” dialogue by pressing Ctrl+S or by Edit -> Select Items Matching...
  4. Enter the string “*.pdf” (without quotes) into the “Pattern” input field of the “Select Items Matching” dialogue. Press OK.

  [What is expected]
  All the pdf files in the folder should be selected.

  [What happens]
  Only one pdf file is selected.
