Please describe the problem: A bug report has been opened on launchpad here: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rhythmbox/+bug/221112 If the user has a French Alternative keyboard layout and tries to enter a space bar when focus is on the search bar, the currently selected song starts playing instead of inserting a space character into the search string. Steps to reproduce: 1. Set Keyboard layout to French Alternative (prefs->keyboard->layout tab->new in ubuntu) 2. Open Rhythmbox and attempt to search for a song with a space character separating words Actual results: The currently selected song plays Expected results: The space character is inserted into the search string. Does this happen every time? Yes - Using Ubuntu 8.04 Other information:
This bug has already been opened against rhythmbox twice. Here's a quote from you from one of the duplicates: > Seems to be actually linked to > https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=9529 > > Not a GNOME bug. *** This bug has been marked as a duplicate of 531279 ***
My mistake, after having inquired many experts on this bug the way out of this is indeed in rythmbox. I will reopen the origianl bug. Sorry for the duplicate.
