"Find as you type" feature does not "appear to" work in thunar while horizontal scrolling

[sundarvenkata]

Binary package hint: thunar

Enable Compact List view in Thunar. Go to a folder with sufficient files to make the horizontal scrollbar visible. Type the file name in the keyboard. The selection is actually happening but the focus does not shift to that particular file. So it appears to the end user as if nothing is happening.

Thank you for your bug report. I can't reproduce with thunar in Feisty or Gutsy. What version of Xubuntu are you using ?

[sundarvenkata (sundarvenkata)]

Xubuntu Feisty. What I wanted to tell is that the feature ACTUALLY
WORKS. When I do the same thing in Windows Explorer the scrolling
automatically happens when I happen to type a file name that is not
within the window viewport. That behavior does not occur in thunar.
Imagine that I have file names with the letters A through Z. But the
current directory listing shows only filenames from A-F.i.e, the G-Z
part is on the other side of the view which can be accessed by scrolling
horizontally. To select a file with a name "Zulu" I start typing "Zulu"
and the file "Zulu" *does actually get selected* (I ascertained this by
pressing the return key and the file opened). However the horizontal
scrolling does not happen automatically. To reproduce this, do the
following:

1) Switch to Compact List View (Turn off settings "Sort folders before
files", "Show thumbnails", "Text beside icons")
2) Traverse to a folder with enough files such that a horizontal
scrollbar appears.
3) Type a file name (that actually exists on the folder) that is not
present within the thunar window viewport.

Hope this helps.

I can't either reproduce it with thunar on feisty, it scrolls correctly.

Hi,

Any news on this?
Thanks.

Hi,

In my previous correspondence, I had sent a mail with the actual screenshot.
I have not yet downloaded Gutsy. So I cannot confirm if this is fixed.

Thanks,
Sundar
