GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 710761
Mail message list filtered without UI indication
Last modified: 2016-02-22 11:51:54 UTC
Occasionally, clear search button (tiny yellow brush to the right of the search for mail box) does not work. Pressing it does nothing. Switching to another folder then then back enables it again.
Which kind of folder and account? Which kind of search queries?
I saw this myself the other day with 3.11. Was just doing a quick search for myself ("barnes") on my work IMAP account, but don't think the account type is relevant. Looked like the UI components got out of sync somehow.
(In reply to comment #1) > Which kind of folder and account? Which kind of search queries? I see this with EWS backend, because that is what I use the most. It can be any folder: inbox, sent, another created folder. Any type of search (mostly the default: sender or address contains).
I cannot reproduce this, git master, after 3.11.91 release. Might there be any steps for a reproducer?
I haven't seen this in a while, to be honest (F-20), but from memory, I think it would happen if I searched for something, then changed folders, then came back to the folder where I searched.
It just happened with latest Evo in F-20. I search the inbox for a word, switched to another workspace and then came back. Unable to clear. Clicking on another folder, then coming back to inbox enables it again.
I tried to do the same, with Gnome-Shell, but no luck, the right icon is still available even when I return back to the first workspace, after I was in a workspace with a terminal, or with a Firefox.

Possibly some timing issue. I'm not usre what to do with this bug, when it's so hard to reproduce on will.
I managed to reproduce this accidentally, while debugging some other issue. The problem was partly about timing. It could happen, that the newly selected folder could inherit filter from the previously selected folder, when the folder change had been done before the message list re-generation was done for the previous folder. Created commit 5228f1f in evo master (3.19.2+) Created commit 95f2be2 in evo gnome-3-18 (3.18.3+)
