Hi,
I appended three images for the better demonstration of what I meant.

Focus behavior isn't the only thing that changed in the way of displaying files
in current Quick Open functionality but f.e. also the way of displaying the
paths. Other thing that changed is sorting - in old view all items are sorted
by path and in new I can't see any sort key, neither can I see paths aligned
under each other, so now, manual searching through the list of unsorted files,
imho, doesn't make sense and is harder (please see New look*.png and Old
look*.png files).

In a vast project, it could be hard to orientate in paths without prefixes, but
I don't mean to criticize the new look and arrangement of current Quick Open,
closing when losing focus, etc. My point is, whether it would be possible to
preserve the tab-like look and feel either in configuration or as a new panel
in Tool View (please see Suggested place*.png file). The latter variant enables
to have really Quick open as it is in current version and also have some
convenient way of displaying recent/opened files and files from current
directories as it was before. 

I personally consider both distinct old and new Quick Open as different
functionalities that can be further developed separately as a different means
to conveniently open files (The look and feel matters often the most, even
though it is just opening files). Lately I have been using fsearch more often
as a kind-of-replacement for old Quick Open functionality.

I understand that kate has menu entry for recent files. 

PS. I uploaded images first. As an answer: Yes. Tool-view is narrow in sent
Suggested-place picture, but it can be resized to half-to-half with document
etc.
