Leaves find bar open when clicks are open in new tabs (1.03 KB, patch)

Description Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2006-08-17 08:26:14 UTC 
The findbar should be kept open when a link is opened in a new tab.

(This bug report is based on comment #11 in bug #332349)

Leaves find bar open when clicks are open in new tabs

This makes what the bug ask for.
However, when the new tab is open the find bar loses focus (no matter that gtk_widget_grab_focus()). I'm not sure how to avoid this, let's see if someone has a better idea.
Comment 2 Christian Persch 2006-11-04 10:32:06 UTC 
IMHO it's problematic that you can then only close the findbar by focusing it and defocusing it again, which is not really discoverable...
Comment 3 Diego Escalante Urrelo (not reading bugmail) 2006-11-04 20:44:30 UTC 
Yes, when you try the patch it's a whole different opinion you get. I didn't like it that much.
Comment 4 Diego Escalante Urrelo (not reading bugmail) 2006-12-02 05:14:39 UTC 
Wouter, I think this is a WORKSUGLY bug. At least the way I implemented it. Can you give this patch a try?.
Comment 5 Wouter Bolsterlee (uws) 2006-12-05 12:48:12 UTC 
Perhaps we should give this some more UI though before applying random patches to change the current behaviour...
Comment 6 Christian Persch 2007-01-29 21:48:45 UTC 
Since this patch breaks the find bar's focus model, I'm going to reject it.
