Description Matthew McGowan 2008-10-06 10:24:26 UTC 
When using GtkFileChooser upon selecting the search function, the Location widgets are removed and replaced with the Search entry widget.  This behaviour (of removing the Location widgets) causes a distracting and unnecessary repositioning of the remaining widgets.

My suggestion is to maintain all widget positioning, and just simply change the location entry to the Search entry when Search is selected.

Solved in bug 486839 for its most part. We still need to determine a way to handle the path entry, though.
