GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 687644
Search field is too long
Last modified: 2012-11-05 17:02:20 UTC
The current length looks a bit odd. It also means that the search/clear icon is a really long way from the actual search terms. About 500px seems like a good length.
I agree, this is something I've been meaning to change for a while. I now pushed a fix to git master, thanks for the report.
