bug: Typing spaces in a 'Folder Contains:' search is now impossible as of recent versions (previously was working)

How to reproduce:
* Enter a folder with many files
* Ensure you are 'focusing' the folder frame with the files (click somewhere on the frame)
* Ensure nothing in the folder is selected
* Think of a folder or file that contains spaces (e.g. Die Hard)
* Type the first word of the file or folder name (e.g. Die)
* Observe that the top element of this search is not selected
* Press spacebar to begin typing the rest of your query
* Bug: Upon pressing spacebar, OneCommander automatically selects the top file/folder and opens a File Preview in a separate window.
* Bug: When this window opens, your filter remains with just the first word (e.g. Die)

* Solution: Listener for Spacebar to open File Preview should be disabled when user has a 'Contains: ' filter actively selected.

I have tested it with that name, and filter should alwasy select the first file, so on D it wil select first file that starts with D, and it should happen regardless if anything was selected in files list before activating the filter

Spacebar works in filter only if Spacebar Preview is off in Settings>Preview. That was always like that. I don't know if that's the best way, but I was aiming for consistency and assumption that preview is more useful in preview than testing for space in name
