I just tested this on Debian testing AMD64, wxWidgets 2.8.10 Unicode and
the wildcard is active and the file dialog shows only the .brd files.
Your Linux distro may be using an older or newer version of GTK and/or

put the current file as the default file to open as long as no one else
has any objections.
