My problem is that after I have searched for something, several hours ago, and forgotten about doing the search.... then I am typing new text into the document, that new text will get highlighted.
I think that the spell checker or context highlighting is on or something so I go searching through menus looking for a solution. i have done this twice at least....the first place i think is of course edit/preferences. im on the verge of disabling the @#$ plugins when i finally realize that maybe there is something else going on here. My zeroth proposed solution is to have a preference option which says 'highlight found text', and you could turn it off or on. My first proposed solution is to have 'higlight mode->none' actually clear all of the found-text highlighting (it would just do the same thing that the search/clear highlighting' thing does. That is simpler. My other proposed solution is to have a checkbox under 'highlight mode' which would allow you to select whether "highlight found text" would be turned off or on. Of course, i am too lazy to program any of this myself, let alone decide weigh the merits and demerits of the ideas,... and i dont expect anyone else to do it either. It is not that important. It is just really annoying to be typing and have some weird lights start appearing all over your text. It reminds me of microsoft word or open office and their 'helpful' hint philosophy. My beloved and trusty Microsoft Notepad (perhaps their best product, ever) would never do that to me. but at least if i file this report, someone else out there will maybe find it and realize they just need to 'search/clear highlight' -- Searched text remains highlighted even after search window has been closed https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/28555 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is a direct subscriber. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
