Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gedit
My gedit sidebar shows all my open documents. When I click a document
name the main frame changes to this document as expected. Then I hit
Ctrl-F to find something, but that only opens the find functionality of
the sidebar! This is quite annoying.
I propose that either:
1 the sidebar find field is always visible, so Ctrl+F only searches the main
frame, or
2 one can double-click a document name to give the focus to the main frame, or
3 the focus always changes to the main frame after a document name is clicked
I prefer solution 1. With 3 we would have to define a new way to focus
the sidebar when it is full of document names. (e.g. by clicking its
icon at the lower left).
My workaround so far: I use now Ctrl+K to search the main frame (didn't
know this nice function before I encountered this bug :-)
