Description Rebecca Schulman 2001-09-10 00:41:15 UTC
How to repeat:
1.  Ask nautilus to open a large directory.
2.  immediately after this, enter find mode by pressing the "find" button
3.  wait for the directory to finish loading, and watch as at some point
nautilus decides to switch out of find mode and show the location bar instead,
even though the user never pressed the "find" button to exit search mode.

I believe this occurs regularly (ie, it's not a memory, or some other similar
bug), but John Sullivan didn't see it happen to him.  I usually try this with my
home directory which has several hundred files in it.  It's possible the extra 
time loading my directory makes it possible for me to press the find button
in time for the bug to occur, but for John (likely owner of a smaller homedir)
the change to find mode occurs late enough in the load not to see this problem
occur.

This is related to the code that says when the location is set to change the
location bar to be the right type for that location.

We definitely want to fix this, but it's not clear exactly what the rule should
be. Following a link on the search page should definitely switch the location
bar to non-search mode I think.
