Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gedit
After opening a new file from the sidebar, the text editing area does
not automatically get focus. This is not exactly a bug per-se, but it
is a usability aggravation.
For example: when opening a file to edit, one of the most common first
tasks is to search for some text. With the current gedit behavior, when
I do a ctrl+f, it opens the find file dialog. It would be really nice
if it opened the text search dialog. On my old 9.04, 9.10, and 10.04
installs, opening a new file and searching would search the file itself.
PS. I love gedit and I use it daily for my dev work. Its the kind of
usability bug that would make things much nicer for me if it were fixed.
