Bug in core/mra/game selection menu?

When you want to select a core/mra/game you can get close to the desired one by typing on the keyboard the first letter. It does not work with Arcade -> alternatives: pressing any letter brings you back to .. <UP-DIR>.
This is not due to the fact that alternatives are directories as it works when a games subdirectory contains directories.

Edit: after further investigation it is because all these directories are prefixed with _. I guess there is not an easy solution to this problem.

Well, why not ignore _ when looking for matches? It seems far less likely that _ would be a useful prefix to distinguish.

What I meant is it is not a bug to fix but a change in how things are done. You have to be careful with side effects. It may be really easy to do. When I made the post I thought it was a bug and this is why I made a post. Now it would be a new feature request. I is not vital and I can live with it but it would be nice to have.
