VS Code File Explorer filter not including all matches

I still only get a couple matches out of 50 files with that name:

Command palette (Ctrl + P) does fuzzy search on the entire solution when used without any modifiers.

Note that opening the command palette with Ctrl + Shift + P would append the ">" modifier and set the palette into command mode.
