Description Heiko Schmidt 2007-10-23 06:25:57 UTC 
Steps to reproduce:

1. Activate Text Tool
2. Go to Tool Options Dialog
3. Start to type in the desired font name for example 'Sans Bold Italic'

By 'Sans Bold ' the list disappears (which is ok) but the complete font name is not displayed. It's still only 'Sans Bold ' to see. So the user is not able to select the font in this case he has to type in less character to get again a list to select from. 

As far as I remember Gimp 2.2 has not this problem. Under Ubuntu it works well too.
Comment 1 Michael Schumacher 2007-10-23 08:26:37 UTC 
I can't reproduce this here. When I type the space after Bold, 'Italic' does get added immediately as it is the only variant left that can still match.
Comment 2 Heiko Schmidt 2007-10-23 09:55:12 UTC 
Ok that's right, Michael. I used this font types as examples without further check because these are common fonts and to find on each computer.

This problem appears by me by another font. I tink I found out why. If the font name is in upper case and I type in lower case letters then it works not properly. Now I can avoid that problem. 

But would it be possible or useful to implement a way to distinguish between upper case and lower case characters?
Comment 3 Sven Neumann 2007-10-23 10:51:13 UTC 
That would be a bug in GtkEntryCompletion then. We could reassign it to GTK+, but first someone would have to make a stand-alone test-case that shows the problem and allows to reproduce it.
Comment 4 Michael Schumacher 2007-10-23 11:22:11 UTC 
I guess this is bug #395964.
Comment 5 Sven Neumann 2007-10-23 12:27:50 UTC 
Indeed.
