Description Paul van Tilburg 2006-04-25 09:03:52 UTC 
When search for a string in Previous Converstions (tab Search) that contains capitals, the algorithm only seems to find, scroll to and highlight lowercase versions of this string.
Comment 1 Caio Marcelo de Oliveira Filho 2006-05-10 20:07:17 UTC 
Happens with latest CVS too.

In src/gossip_chat_view.c, gossip_chat_view_find(), line 1713. And also in gossip_chat_view_highlight(), line 1780.

There is a call to g_utf8_casefold() that turns the search string into a form "independent of the case" (seems like is turning just into lower case), but looks like the other strings being compared (the contents of messages) are not. For a insensitive case search, that would need to happen.

For case sensitive search, just dropping the g_utf8_casefold call seems to work, but I'm not aware of enconding problems that could happen. Maybe another function from g_utf8_* family should be used instead.

Will the search be case sensitive or insensitive?

Thanks, fixed the search to be case insensitive.
