Public bug reported:
i use gedit a lot, and i find it comfortable in general.
the new small search window is extremely impractical. FOCUS PROBLEM:
CTRL+F > type a search (search of longer strings FAR TOO SLOW) > find
and now, typing ESC brings one back to the former place!
when trying to use CTRL-F again, the search string is replaced by new text.
if one wants to stay in the found passage, one must use the mouse/touchpad to
click into the text.
this is an extremely annoying feature/behavior.
i simply would like to have the old search window + its behavior back.
i am working very quickly and mostly using shortcuts.
gedit now completely interrupts my way of working.
additionally, where are the other search functions such as case-
sensitive search?
additionally, i do not want the search function to slow down so much.
for me it is ok to start the search after i have finished typing my
search string :-) this new energy-consuming ZEITGEIST-etc-fashion is not
good for quick workers with serious amounts of data.
best wishes, vollmanr
