GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 470601
search for value fails
Last modified: 2008-09-11 12:47:28 UTC
Please describe the problem: I have set my DPI for font rendering to 104. However, searching for "104" in gconf-editor (with both key names and key values enabled) shows "Pattern not found". Steps to reproduce: 1. Click "Preferences/Font" from the main GNOME menu. 2. Click "Details" in the Font Preferences configuration dialog. 3. Note the resolution in the top of the Font Rendering Details dialog. 4. Click "Applications/System Tools/Configuration Editor" from the main GNOME menu. 5. Click "Edit/Find..." from the Configuration Editor menu. 6. Enter the value noted in step 3 into the "Search for:" edit box. 7. Check both the "Search also in key names" and the "Search also in key values" check boxes. 8. Click "Find". Actual results: A message box appears reporting "Pattern not found". Expected results: A key containing "104" in either the key name or the key value should be selected in the right pane, with the configuration key path selected in the left pane. Does this happen every time? Yes, as far as I can tell. Other information: Slackware 12.0, Dropline GNOME build date 2007-07-15.
From gconf-search.c: /* FIXME: We are only looking into strings... should we do in * int's? */
the problem is with "lists of strings" too https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gconf-editor/+bug/202071
