The wrong allocation, the found text

I'm changing the description to something IMHO clearer feel free to
point out if I misunderstood your report.

Beside can you tell us which version of gedit and gtksourceview are
you running? I see that you chose GNOMEVER2.5 but the screenshot does
look like a slightly older version.


I'm also moving this bug to gtksourceview since it's where the search
code is.

gtksourceview-0.8

hmmm... are you able to reproduce it using "case sensitive" search?

sory bad english, automatic translation.
I shall check up, the result will be tomorrow.

The mistake repeats only by search not an English word. Only by return
search and switched - off option Case Sensitive.

gtksourceview-0.8.0 (pkgconfig)

I can confirm this bug.  It happens searching backwards on files with
certain UTF-8 characters.  I still can't figure out exactly what
triggers this.  But it can be easily reproduced: open yelp.desktop for
example and search backwards for "Name".

Changing the summary for clarity.

Searching forward works fine.  Case sensitive forward and backward
searches work fine too.

Removed the TARGET2.6.0 keyword- that's a totally cross-gnome
showstopper keyword. Paolo, if you want to get a target milestone
added for just gtksourceview, please email bugmaster@gnome.org and we
can do it. [I already did it for gedit and moved some bugs there.]

Fixed in CVS.  But at the same time found #135163 (sigh).
