Open dialog box, file name suggestions

In 16.6, when opening a file, I was able to type the first two or three letters of the file name and it would automatically give a list of all the files that started with those letters in the current folder. Then I could easily select the file I was looking for in a folder with many DRA files. I recently upgraded to 17.4 and this feature does not work anymore. Is there a way to turn it on or was it removed for PCB editor all together?
