GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 318241
partial word matches not cleared
Last modified: 2005-10-07 21:16:46 UTC
Please describe the problem: If I type in the beginning of a word, say "cd" or "open", I get certain matches with Launchers at the top of the list ("Launch CD Database Server/CD Player/Sound Juicer CD Ripper" for "cd", "Launch Neverputt/Open Folder/OpenOffice.org 2.0 Math/etc. for "open"). If I continue to extend these words ("cddb", "opening") the launchers do not disappear from the list. If I type a space and a second word ("cd store", "open source") they do, correctly, disappear. Steps to reproduce: 1. Start typing a word 2. Get partial match including launchers 3. Continue typing word Actual results: Launchers do not disappear, even though full word should not match them. Expected results: Launchers disappear as search changes. Does this happen every time? Yes Other information:
Normally this is fixed in CVS, please reopen if this is not what you meant.
I'll see if I can install the CVS version and test it out. In the meantime, do you have a sense of when the next release including this fix will be coming out?
I cannot tell really, we have no roadmap yet, so maybe i can gather the developpers and ask about doing a release before next week, i don't know if they have pending fixes or updates.
There's no rush, I know the next version will have the fix and it's not a real problem to work around it.
