How to switch off file name autocompletion in GTK3 FileChooserDialog?

Yesterday I wrote a post on this forum on the sluggish 'Save file' dialog in Firefox. I got a nice suggestion for a work around, but I am still looking for a more general solution to what turns out to be a GTK3 issue.

The sluggish behaviour of the GTK3 'Save file' dialog (part of GtkFileChooserDialog) is caused by an autocompletion 'feature': when typing something in the file name box, a list of suggestions shows up. On my slowish AsRock ION330, that takes many seconds in large directories. Is there a way to switch autocompletion off somewhere in the gtk3 settings?
