It's not one search field losing its query, but rather two separate search fields. In this respect, it behaves just the same as the pathbutton next to it: for example, if you navigate to "Get Software" > "Games", then to "Installed Software", you won't end up in "Installed Software" > "Games".
I think having independent search fields (and pathbuttons) across sections is appropriate, because otherwise if you did a search (or navigated to a department/subsection) in the top-level "Get Software" and then navigated to a PPA or a CD (coming soon in 2.0) or to a saved list (coming in 3.0 or later), *most of the time* that PPA/CD/list would appear to contain zero items when actually it contained more. If we did persist searches across sections, I think we'd need to move the search field upwards somehow to clarify that it was independent from the selection in the navigation pane. -- Search field loses query, should persist. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/446253 You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
