The layout of the popover could be much better when it is empty and gedit has never been used before (see screenshot). Improvements that could be made:

 * Remove the border around the empty list
 * Add padding above and below the graphic and text
 * "No results" text isn't very helpful or positive. maybe change it to "Search for a document"
 * The "No results" text is rather faint, and the colour looks inconsistent with that of the icon - darken it?

Indeed.

/me has the feeling of having fixed this a couple of times already... I guess 3rd is the charm :)

Mass-closing of all gedit bugzilla tickets.

Special "code" to find again all those gedit bugzilla tickets that were open before the mass-closing:

2bfe1b0590a78457e1f1a6a90fb975f5878cb60064ccfe1d7db76ca0da52f0f3

By searching the above sha256sum in bugzilla, the gedit contributors can find again the tickets. We may be interested to do so when we work on a specific area of the code, to at least know the known problems and possible enhancements.

We do this mass-closing because bugzilla.gnome.org is being replaced by gitlab.gnome.org.
