GNOME Bugzilla – Bug 767117
gnome-builder doesn't allow me to search in file editor
Last modified: 2016-06-01 17:43:24 UTC
After install gnome-builder on Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 with GNOME 3.20 I have found that if I press CTRL + F that nothing happens when I'm in a file, so I seem to be unable to easily search for lines in a file, and I can't see another way of doing it other than through the keyboard shortcut (though maybe there is). Though I have found that I am able to use the same method to search for files in the files list so it seems to only be in the actual file editor that I can't use it. And it worked in previous versions of gnome-builder. It is gnome-builder version 3.18.1-2ubuntu1. I initially reported the bug here but thought I should also do so upstream: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-builder/+bug/1587976
You've specified the version as 3.18 but mention you are running GNOME 3.20. We don't support running with gtk+ versions different than our minor version. (For example, 3.18 builder requires 3.18 gtk). Any chance this is the case?
Well, it seems to work in every other possible way... But I have now tested the issue in my GNOME 3.18 VM and it works fine with seemingly the same version so maybe that is the issue. I have filed a report now with the Ubuntu GNOME team so hopefully they will put the latest version of gnome-builder in there PPA soon. I'll reopen this bug if I get it when I have the same version of GNOME as I do of gnome-builder then, shall I? If you would like to close it now that is...
The problem is that we do lots lots lots of wacky stuff with gtk+ internals, so we necessarily release on schedule with gnome/gtk+. What we should really do is refuse to load with mismatch gtk versions (or at least display a warning dialog).
