Search in recent files list only works with lowercase letters

Can confirm using Ubuntu 18.04 and gedit 3.28.1.
This needs to be reported upstream as probably not an Ubuntu issue.

See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Bugs/Upstream/GNOME.

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

Upstream report: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gedit/issues/98

Upstream report closed via commit 370cdd33

Downloaded gedit 3.28.1-1ubuntu1.1 and tested on Ubuntu 18.04 with various combinations of upper/lower case characters within the filename and extension. Search of recently used files is now caseless.

As I no longer have an Ubuntu 18.10 installation I tested gedit 3.30.2-0ubuntu0.18.10.2 in a live session by enabling proposed. I created several files with same names but with different or mixed case, and searched using both upper and lower case. As with the Ubuntu 18.04 test above the search of recent files (document selector) is now caseless.
