I have to double click on the search box clear icon to clear entry. I should be able to clear on click.

Reopening this. I don't think we can just blame ClutterText for the suckiness of entries in the shell. They just don't work right. In particular the shell search entry is kinda central to the user experience, and it is just crappy.

Emmanueles comment in the clutter bug make it pretty clear that we're not going to see a clutter-level fix in the short term (if ever).

We need to discuss ways to make this work better in the shell, regardless.

OK, either way, it's the same exact bug as this other one, so let's just track a shell fix there.

I've looked a bit into this for the middle-click-freezes-shell bug, but so far I've not managed to make it work properly (though arguably better than the current state). I'll see if I can look into it a bit more next week.
