GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 43798
Switch from find to location mode during a directory load
Last modified: 2004-12-22 21:47:04 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. ------- Additional Comments From darin@bentspoon.com 2000-10-16 13:31:56 ---- 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. ------- Additional Comments From eli@eazel.com 2000-10-16 19:00:17 ---- Batch-assigning QA ownership of Search Interface bugs to Josh Barrow. ------- Additional Comments From don@eazel.com 2000-12-15 09:32:04 ---- Batch move all 254 PR3 P5 bugs to 1.0.1. ------- Bug moved to this database by unknown@bugzilla.gnome.org 2001-09-09 20:41 -------
Changing to "old" target milestone for all bugs laying around with no milestone set.
