[Bug 879456] Re: Typeahead functionality for nautilus is broken

[Doug McMahon]

Have been try the patch here on self built 3.2.1-0ubuntu3 + patch, can't
seem to get any regression thru use of multiple nautilus windows, with
or without other apps open & in use

As far as previous comment about the box not disappearing after typing
in it stops & it's not used - it disappears here after either clicking
on Desktop (immediately)  or after 3 sec's on inactivity on the box

Title:
  Typeahead functionality for nautilus is broken

Status in Nautilus:
  Unknown
Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  This bug is similar to: #857710 File selection by typing is buggy
  sometimes

  Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
  Release:	11.10

  nautilus:
    Installed: 1:3.2.1-0ubuntu1
    Candidate: 1:3.2.1-0ubuntu1

  However the person that was assigned to that bug told me to file a new one because supposedly it is a different bug.
  I installed the nautilus 1:3.2.1-0ubuntu1 package from ubuntu proposed and all packages related and I still experience the following  behavior:

  Expected behavior:

  - Open nautilus in ANY folder.
  - Start typing name of folder/file.
  - Nautilus selects folders/file matching as you type (one file at a time matching what is in the search/typeahead box).
  - Type backspace
  - Deletes the last character typed in search/typeahead box

  Actual Behavior

  - Open nautilus in ANY folder.
  - Start typing the name of a folder/file.
  - Sometimes the search box opens and sometimes it does not. (BUG)
  - If it does open, after a letter or two the search box disappears. (BUG)
  - If you change folders sometimes the box reappears as you start typing other times it disappears. (BUG)
  - If the box re-appears typing in Back-space does not delete the text present in the box, instead it navigates backwards (Unexpected behavior)
  - If it disappears It does not re-appear until you close and re-open nautilus. (BUG)

  This happens in ALL views (Icon, List, Compact) with or without status
  bar enabled (Some suggested that the status bar fixes this, it does
  not).

  The newly released packages (nautilus* 3.2.1) DO NOT fix this bug.

  I am on Ubuntu 11.10 64Bit Using Gnome 3.2 and Gnome Shell.
  Upgraded to this ubuntu since 10.04
