** Description changed: - When in a folder with multiple files, you normally can select a file by - name by typing the name of the file. A small box appears below the - nautilus window containing the search text. + While in Icon View, the search entry typeahead that appears when you + begin typing disappears very quickly, irrespective of the user's typing. + It lasts less than a second, not long enough to type more than two + characters, and is difficult to bring back up. - In the nautilus currently in 11.10b1, the search box disappears while I - am typing. It doesn't seem to be a focus issue because nautilus is - focused the whole time. It varies betweend disappearing almost - instantly, or after a second, but in either case it is very rapid, too - rapid to type a full filename. + This problem only occurs in Icon View and Compact View. + + How to reproduce: + + 1. Open nautilus. + 2. Enter Icon view in an empty folder + 3. Create three folders, LongName1, LongName2, LongName3. + 4. Make sure that the focus is on Nautilus. + 5. Begin typing LongName3. + + What is expected: The helpful search entry will pop up, allowing you to + type the name of LongName3, and selecting it for you. + + What actually happens: The search entry shows up, highlights LongName1 + as it is first in the dictionary order, then disappears around the + letter 'n', and you are forced to try to retype LongName3. + + After reading the source somewhat in Nautilus to better understand the + problem, I rewrote this bug and provided what I suppose is a more + readable summary.
