Public bug reported:
When "Search for:" field in "Replace..." dialog contains more than 3 symbols
every press on "Find", "Replace" or "Replace all" buttons initiates write by
dconf-service.
Steps to reproduce:
a) I needed to change gedit's "max-recents" setting.
b) since there's no option for it in the gedit's "Preferences" dialog, I
installed dconf-tools (0.10.0-0ubuntu1)
1) open any file
2) open "Replace" dialog
3) type into "Search for:" any text (should be over 3 symbols long)
4) press "Find", "Replace" or "Replace all"
Every press on these buttons results in write by dconf-service (with audible
hdd sound).
When using /proc/sys/vm/block_dump it looks like this:
#sda6 is a /home partition
#new entry in "Search for:" field
kernel: [11053.994218] dconf-service(1656): dirtied inode 4194707 (user) on sda6
kernel: [11053.994225] dconf-service(1656): dirtied inode 4194707 (user) on sda6
kernel: [11055.974400] dconf-service(1656): dirtied inode 4194738 (user.HFP9BW)
on sda6
kernel: [11055.974413] dconf-service(1656): dirtied inode 4194738 (user.HFP9BW)
on sda6
kernel: [11055.974509] dconf-service(1656): WRITE block 134749472 on sda6 (16
sectors)
#same entry in "Search for:" field
kernel: [11062.859499] dconf-service(1656): dirtied inode 4194737 (user.2QXUBW)
on sda6
kernel: [11062.859514] dconf-service(1656): dirtied inode 4194737 (user.2QXUBW)
on sda6
kernel: [11062.859614] dconf-service(1656): WRITE block 134749488 on sda6 (16
sectors)
...
Indeed dconf contains list of used search and replace strings for Gedit
but writes occur on EVERY press of "Find", "Replace" or "Replace all".
No duplicates added.
