------- Additional comments from [email protected] Wed May 19 08:28:20 +0000 2010 ------- Search dialog has certain problems linux environments, where focusing windows is not done via mouse click on windows (as in normal MS windows) but via mouse movement (focus is gained when mouse movement enters another window. Search dialog is not aware that such possibility exist and thus makes problems - it tries to be intelligent and hide/unhide/focus in certain cases. E.g. this scenario: searching something in first writer window. Then move my work in second writer window. The search window hides itself. 1. Now I switch to the next 2. desktop, which in enligtenment window manager (e16) means the desktop is "visualy moving" to the next one. By this movement cursor gets for few ms on the top of the first windows so writer tries to unhide. 2. But the first dekstop is already gone so it unhides on the second desktop. 3. But the focus is no more on writer now, so it immediately tries to hide again. In this attempt it probably tries to pass the focus back to window 1. This results in that desktop manager switches back to desktop 1. But you know what - the cursor again moves through all the windows so by this movement it tried again to unhide. But its position is remembered so we go back to desktop 2 and now GOTO point 1 in eternal loop! In effect you see endless switching between desktops and only chaotical mouse and keyboard actions will get your system back after some fight... It took me weeks to analyze whats going on. It should be possible to switch of this added intelligence of (un)hiding behaviour.
