Sorry for coming in a little late on this, but it's really horrible having the input clear on escape. I push escape a lot (a habit I picked up from using Vim a lot) and I don't ever want it to clear the input field. There are a great many other Linux users with this habit too I'm sure.
It is also just weird behavior. Where did this idea come from that esc should clear the field? Please, please make escape do nothing in the input field! -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Gwibber Bug Heros, which is subscribed to Gwibber. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/555689 Title: Hitting ESC when typing a message should clear the message Status in Gwibber: Fix Committed Status in “gwibber” package in Ubuntu: Fix Released Bug description: Binary package hint: gwibber What happens: When I'm typing a message and hit escape, I expect the message area to be cleared. It isn't, so I select all the text and hit backspace to delete it. However, if I'm replying to someone the fact that I'm replying still isn't cleared; I have to use my mouse to click the X next to the service I'm using to reply in the "Send with" area. What should happen: Hitting escape should clear the message window (Ctrl-Z should bring the contents back if it's in error). Moreover, ESC should clear the in-reply-to field, since having the text there after the @foo has been cleared from the message box is confusing and makes me think that I'm going to send a reply to someone even when I'm not. _______________________________________________ Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~gwibber-bugs Post to : [email protected] Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~gwibber-bugs More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
