Title:
Search in recent files list only works with lowercase letters
Status in gedit package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in gedit source package in Bionic:
Fix Committed
Status in gedit source package in Cosmic:
Fix Released
Bug description:
* Impact
The document filter is case sensitive which is confusing/not convenient
* Test case
- Open a document with an Uppercase letter
- close it
- click on 'open' and type the name with an Uppercase
-> it should list the document
* Regression potential
The code change is in the filtering code, just test that.
--------------------------------
When clicking “Open” and typing to search the recently opened files,
any search involving uppercase letters fails to return any result,
even if files with uppercase letters in their file names have recently
been opened. Searching for the same file names, but using all-
lowercase letters, does yield results (see attached screenshot). So it
seems that gedit converts the recently used file names to lowercase
before comparing to the search term, which is incorrect.
