GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 619036
Words get switched around when typed into the Search bar
Last modified: 2010-09-06 18:22:46 UTC
Overview: When typing a phrase into the search bar, the first word regularly appears after the second word. Steps to Reproduce: Start typing something into the search bar, like the name of a podcast, but it has to be more than one word -- eg. Ninja Tune Podcast, or The Linux Action Show! Actual Results: Often -- not always -- your search would end up like: - Tune Ninja Podcast - Linux The Action Show! Expected Results: It should register the phrase as typed. Build Date & Platform: 1.7.0-1~hyper1~lucid released on 2010-05-08 on Ubuntu Lucid. Additional Builds and Platforms: I also noticed this happening in the Ubuntu Lucid default 1.6.0-1 build. Additional Information: I can't say for certain because I haven't had time to test it enough, but I think this is only happening on my laptop installation, and not on my desktop installation. I don't notice anything different about the installed files, but when I tested the search function on my desktop, it worked. But it rarely works on my laptop -- maybe 50% of the time.
Hi mxyzptlk Could you run banshee --debug and try to reproduce the error? The debug log might provide some useful information about this issue.
I can reproduce something that might be the same bug as this, using the backspace key in the search field, like so: 1. Type "aaaa bbbb" (without the quotes) 2. Hit the backspace key exactly four times. Expected result: the search field shows "aaaa |" (where the bar indicates the cursor) Actual result: the search field shows "|aaaa" So the cursor jumps to the beginning of the search field whenever the cursor encounters a space, and the trailing space is deleted. This is 100% reproducible on my machine. So, if I type "Julian Bream" but make a typing error during "Bream" and correct it with the backspace key, I end up with "BreamJulian"
Confirmed - I see this as well.
It's an issue in the stable branch as well.

I have bisected the regression down to the following commit: commit dea6a184f9de4baf938f394db89b2e8b91b6f7bf Author: Gabriel Burt <gabriel.burt@gmail.com> Date: Tue May 4 11:11:34 2010 -0700 [MeeGo] Keep the search entries synced Keep the MeeGo panel search entry and the Nereid entry in sync with each other, so if you enter a query in one and switch to the other, it'll be there. The corresponding commit in stable-1.6 is 781c691924ecde1dd9d372a825c5cab71d59a150.
Thanks a lot for tracking it down, hyperair! Great sleuthing
Severity "normal" does not really indicates that this completely destroys the search experience in banshee :(
Fixed
