Public bug reported: [Impact] An input error (e.g. a key being continuously pressed) in the gnome-software search field can lead to continuous searches being sent via snapd. This is beuause there is no limit in this search field.
[Test Case] 1. Open GNOME Software 2. Click search button 3. Continuously press and release 't' Expected result: Searches stop after a reasonable time. Observed result: Searches are continuously generated for each key press. [Regression potential] Low. The field is now limited to 100 characters and searches stop after this limit. ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu) Importance: Medium Status: Triaged ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Medium Status: Triaged ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu Yakkety) Importance: Medium Status: Triaged ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu Zesty) Importance: Medium Status: Triaged ** Affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Medium Status: Triaged ** Also affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu Zesty) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Also affects: gnome-software (Ubuntu Yakkety) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu Artful) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu Zesty) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu Yakkety) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu Xenial) Status: New => Triaged ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu Artful) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu Zesty) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu Yakkety) Importance: Undecided => Medium ** Changed in: gnome-software (Ubuntu Xenial) Importance: Undecided => Medium -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gnome-software in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1692398 Title: Input error can lead to continuous searches To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/+bug/1692398/+subscriptions -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
