Description Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2006-04-20 23:03:24 UTC 
The GNOME HIG (Chapter 4. Menus, Designing a Menu, Types of
menu item, Guidelines) states:

> Label the menu item with a trailing ellipsis ("...") only
> if the command requires further input from the user before
> it can be performed. Do not add an ellipsis to items that
> only present a confirmation dialog (such as Delete), or
> that do not require further input (such as Properties,
> Preferences or About).

The Edit->Find menu item does not have ... at the end of the
string. Mind if I commit a patch that fixes this?

(Btw, Epiphany does this correctly)

        * shell/ev-window.c: Add ellipsis to the Find... menu item, as
        dictated by the GNOME HIG. Fixes bug #339235.
