Public bug reported:
On a live version of trusty thar - beta -:
When I use the HUD menu in an application, I have to enter lots of
letters, until the right entry shows up. For the first 3/5 letters, the
menu shows just unfitting entries, that do not even match the
combination of letters. This way the HUD menue gets almost useless,
since one has to enter almost the whole menue entry without any
knowledge if it was spelled correctly in advance.
To reproduce:
- Use e.g. Libre Office Writer (the Firefox Menue shew the same behavior)
- Press ALT
- try to insert a FOOTNOTE
- press letters: foo
- HUD shows 5 menue entries without footnote beeing included. infact it does
not show 1 entry uncluding even foo*
- complete the search string: the right entry does appear in the list of
suggested entries not before the letters FOOTNO are entered.
- In 12.04 and subsequent releases menue entries that fit the pattern
show up immediately.
