Yes it is really annoying but Ubuntu seems not care about it. At the time you type it start searching even the first characters. It even does not wait for some milisecs to do the search (just to detect user continue to type text rather than search the whole word. Then it cause cpu crazy hungry and eventually I have to kill it.
The person who marks this to be invalid? I dare to ask a quesiton? Have you bothered to repeat what the reporter here do and see if it is valid or invalid? SImple. Start gedit - open a pretty large text document (some 200Kb or so) . Then Ctrl + F. Start typing your word to search. You will see it and perhaps you wont mark it as Invalid.

FOCUS PROBLEM: CTRL+F > type a search (search of longer strings FAR TOO SLOW) > find and now, typing ESC brings one back to the former place! when trying to use CTRL-F again, the search string is replaced by new text. if one wants to stay in the found passage, one must use the mouse/touchpad to click into the text. this is an extremely annoying feature/behavior. i simply would like to have the old search window + its behavior back. i am working very quickly and mostly using shortcuts. gedit now completely interrupts my way of working. additionally, where are the other search functions such as case- sensitive search? additionally, i do not want the search function to slow down so much. for me it is ok to start the search after i have finished typing my search string :-) this new energy-consuming ZEITGEIST-etc-fashion is not good for quick workers with serious amounts of data. best wishes, vollmanr To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gedit/+bug/1136644/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
