[Bug 1043843] Re: When a location name is typed in the text box on 'Where are you page', drop down list doesn't always show right location names

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

I am not sure about this.
* first we do network detection
* then we take clicks to choose region (approx)
* then we also offer to type the location

the only thing that this chooses is the correct time-zone offset &
seasonal timezone shifts (winter/summer).

It is known that not all locations are available or selectable given the
combinations of current pointer on the map & stem look up.

>From the bug it seems like it is possible to select Kolkata's timezone,
which is Indian Standard Time. The exact location within Indian Standard
Time is not important.

Therefore, while it's a valid bug, I don't think it needs fixing. Hence
I am changing status to opinion.

Title:
  When a location name is typed in the text box on 'Where are you page',
  drop down list doesn't always show right location names

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:

Bug description:
  When a location name is typed in the text box on 'Where are you page',
  drop down list doesn't always show right location names. Example, when
  I typed Kolkata, it was giving out the result Kolkat, Mazandaran, Iran
  and when I backspaced 'a' in Kolkata and retyped it, the right drop
  down list appeared. To check again, I typed London, the drop down list
  showed results for Londo. Backspacing 'n' in London and re-typing it
  worked.
