GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 212904
Searches from the alphabet bar don't show up in the filter bar
Last modified: 2013-09-10 13:52:59 UTC
Description of Problem: When I click the ABCDE... buttons on the right side of the addressbook, it seems to do a quick search for "Name begins with [letter on the button]". However, this is not reflected on the quick search bar above the address cards, nor is anyway visible that the user doesnt see all of his/her cards. Expected Results: What if the buttons just scrolled to the beginning of that letter in the list? So that the list always had all those contacts visible but it would just jump to that section, pretty much like if you have those "letter tabs" on a real physical phone directory. It would be less confusing.
1.1 UI polish?
It used to do the jumping and the what not, but that's much harder with the current architecture. I also actually like this behavior better. However, Tuomas is correct in that the filter bar needs to be changed when the user clicks here, so I'm changing the summary to reflect that.
See also bug 210734, which proposes a UI change for the alphabet bar that should also help to make the filtering state more clear. This is not a duplicate bug, but the two are related.
Because of the decision to remap 1.1->1.2 and 1.2->1.4, I'm going to be moving a large number of bugs around in the bugzilla. You can just search on 'body contains' 'Because of the decision to remap' and mark all as read. Please direct all questions about this change to evolution@ximian.com, not the bug. Luis
Fixed in CVS.
