Description
### Problem
The following lines are printed to the terminal four times when typing a character into the search box of the file dialog. Then they are printed once on each key stroke.
```
2021-04-06 17:08:23.077 Python[37482:558074] -[NSNull length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fff8893e000
2021-04-06 17:08:23.077 Python[37482:558074] Exception calling directoryDidChange: on delegate exception=-[NSNull length]: unrecognized selector sent to instance 0x7fff8893e000
```
Note, that there's no crash and no other indication of error.
### To reproduce
- Run the following script
Script
```python
import sys
import PyQt5.QtCore
import traits
from traits.api import *
import traitsui
from traitsui.api import *
class Model(HasTraits):
filename = Str()
class ViewModel(ModelView):
model = Instance(Model)
def default_traits_view(self):
return View(
Item('model.filename', editor=FileEditor()),
)
if __name__ == '__main__':
print('TraitsUI', traitsui.__version__)
print('Traits', traits.__version__)
print('PyQt5', PyQt5.QtCore.QT_VERSION_STR)
print('Python', sys.version)
model = Model()
viewmodel = ViewModel(model=model)
viewmodel.configure_traits()
```
- Click on the little blue directory icon to the right of the text box
- Type "a" in the search box of the file dialog (see the top-right corner of the screenshot)

### System information
TraitsUI 7.1.1
Traits 6.2.0
PyQt5 5.12.6
Python 3.6.13
macOS 10.15.7
### Notes
A similar error is reported in some other issues, but those seem to be unrelated to `FileEditor`.
