Status in gtk+3.0 package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: In the Ubuntu version of Gtk+ 3 type-ahead as been re-patched in. This causes unexpected behaviours for the file-chooser. The type-ahead patch should be removed for the following reasons: 1) In file-chooser when you try to search using the looking-glass icon search-dialogue the focus does not stay in the search box, so you have to click in the box each time you type a letter.[1] 2) A magically appearing type-ahead box is not expected and confusing. 3) This behaviour was removed from Nautilus, and from main-line Gtk+ years ago. Having this behaviour re-added is not something that should have happened. There is a search button for a reason. [2] It's better to make people use the less confusing search box than the very confusing type-ahead box. I understand that you might think it is good for the old-timers, but it is totally broken, and has no place in a modern operating system. --------------- [1] https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu-gnome/+bug/1592177 , https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gtk/issues/1572 [2] It does not make sense when looking at HIG. And how most GNOME and Gtk+ apps are designed. It is a weird legacy design choice from before Gtk+ modernised and made things much clearer. https://developer.gnome.org/hig/stable/search.html.en To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gtk+3.0/+bug/1818819/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages Post to : touch-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~touch-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
