"Binary package hint: gnome-panel

I have added a dictionary lookup to my Gnome panel. When I type a word in and press enter, it pops up a box with results on that word. If I type Ctrl+F, it opens a find bar at the bottom of that box.
However, this leaves very little space in the window to view the results, and I can't get rid of it.
Ctrl+F again does nothing. If I hit escape while focus is on the text box of the find tool, it closes the whole box, and when I open it again, it won't allow me to click back into that text box."

Bug confirmed in Ubuntu Feisty.

Comment 2 Emmanuele Bassi (:ebassi) 2007-08-13 14:21:51 UTC

this happens because we use the Escape key to hide the applet and the find bar.

in gnome-utils 2.19.90, the find bar will auto-hide after 5 seconds of inactivity, and I've just committed a patch that will hide the find bar when hiding the window.
