  Steps to reproduce:
  
  Open gedit (or other GNOME app with file dialogs)
  Click File->Open (or Save As)
  Right click on file viewport and enable Show Hidden Files.
  Cancel out of the dialog
  Click File->Open
  Right click on file viewport and disable Show Hidden Files.
  
  The behavior is unexpected (seems like the viewport does not refresh).
  If you keep clicking "Show Hidden Files" you can even get duplicates.
+ 
+ P.S. Make sure your File->Open dialog is opening to a folder with hidden
+ files, such as /home/$USER.  Or else, this bug will not be reproducible,
+ since when you click on a folder, it is refreshed!
