Thank you for reporting this bug to Ubuntu. Ubuntu 15.10 (wily) reached end-of-life on July 28, 2016.
See this document for currently supported Ubuntu releases: https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Releases We appreciate that this bug may be old and you might not be interested in discussing it any more. But if you are then please upgrade to the latest Ubuntu version and re-test. If you then find the bug is still present in the newer Ubuntu version, please add a comment here telling us which new version it is in and change the bug status to Confirmed. ** Changed in: gedit (Ubuntu) Status: New => Won't Fix -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Desktop Packages, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1535461 Title: [15.10 REGRESSION] Find has become sensitive to differences in accents Status in gedit package in Ubuntu: Won't Fix Bug description: Steps to reproduce: - write (or paste, or load) a text containing the string "maría" - hit Ctrl+F - in the search box, type "maria" Expected: should find the string "maría" in the text, because í and i only differ by an accent. This is the way it used to work, and it is the way every decent editor works Observed: doesn't find the matching string unless you type it exactly with the same accents. I already reported this upstream at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760810 However, they'll probably tell me that I'm using a too old version. - Please check whether it is already fixed in a later version upstream - if so, release the fixed version in Ubuntu - if not, either patch it or immediately roll back to the version without the issue. This makes ctrl+F unusable.
