Public bug reported:

Impact
------
Thumbnails do not show in the file chooser (provided by gtk4 which is also used 
by even non-GTK3 apps if they use xdg-desktop-portal-gnome) until the thumbnail 
is generated by for instance, viewing the folder in Nautilus.

This bug is new to Ubuntu 23.04 because GTK 4.10 is the first stable GTK
release to support the "grid view" in the filechooser.

Test Case
---------
1. Use Firefox to download an image file. (This test case assumes you're using 
the default Firefox distributed as a Snap).
2. In Firefox, use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+O to open the file chooser.
3. Navigate to where the file was downloaded (your Downloads/ folder?)
4. The file should show a thumbnail image

Number 4 doesn't happen correctly until you open the folder in Nautilus
at least once.

Other Info
----------
I am linking to what upstream considers the master bug for this issue. But a 
duplicate of the issue is https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/-/issues/5663 
which has a clearer summary.
