Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gnome-panel
Steps to reproduce:
1. sudo aptitude install sun-java6-jdk
2. press Alt+F2 to start "Run application" dialog of gnome-panel
3. Type "j" and wait for a few seconds (so that the list of icons have been
updated
4. Type "c" the input now reads "jc[on]" where the part between brackets is
selected (This is correct, possible choices are jconsole and jcontrol)
5. Type "o"
Expected results:
The input now reads "jco[n]" (the n is selected an will be overwritten
if I type anything)
Actual results:
The input now reads "jcon" (the "n" is not selected). This prevents me
from successfully launching the jconsole by typing "jcons" in the dialog
because after the "jco" part the input has been changed to "jcon" and
when I continue the rest of the program name ("nsole") the end result is
"jconnsole" which obviously does not work.
Other information:
There seems to be some kind of race condition somewhere because
sometimes the "n" is correctly selected after "jco" part and sometimes
not. It seems that waiting after the "j" helps to reproduce the problem.
I haven't examined if the problem is caused by the fact that "jconsole"
can be found from the main menu (and so has an icon) and "jcontrol"
cannot be found from the main menu (and has no icon but application says
in the bottom "Will run command: 'jcontrol'" if I toggle the "Show list
of known applications").
