[Tracker] "duplicate" entries for symlinks when using type-ahead filtering.

Description

I couldn't find a relevant ticket for this one.

Steps to reproduce:

  • Have a Tracker window open for folder X, with a symlink in it to a text file in a different folder (to a file on Desktop, for example).
  • Start type-ahead filtering (so the symlink DOES gets shown).
  • Open said symlink by hitting enter (let's assume it opens in StyledEdit).

Either immediately, or just after you close StyledEdit (without modifying the file [1]), several "duplicate" entries for that symlink appear on the Tracker window.

They go away as soon as you cancel the filtering (hitting ESC).

Not a big deal, but *maybe* somewhat related to the more annoying #13409? (considering the latter also involves symlinks).

[1] I guess the saving of StyleEdit's attributes triggers some node-monitoring refresh on Tracker's side.
