gitk: searching on filenames?

A real example from this morning: I noticed when pulling from Linus that kernel/sched.c had been updated, so I wanted to look at that particular commit.

If I do 'gitk kernel/sched.c' then it does what I expect.

But, if I just start gitk with no arguments and then attempt to search for kernel/sched.c it eventually stops with an error saying "can't find diffs for <SHA1> <SHA2>".

Is this the expected behavior? (I have the 'Files' field selected in the gitk search bar.)

Thanks!
