Search does not stop when you click on the "Stop" button

[saads]

Binary package hint: nautilus

Steps:

1) Initiate a search from a high-level directory, one that you know will take some time to complete.
2) While it is searching, click on the "Stop" button which should now be active.

You will notice that the stop button becomes inactive, but the search does not in fact stop. I have a scsi drive that is quite loud and still heard the grinding continuing. Also results for the filename string I was searching for continued to appear. There was no way for me to actually stop the search.

Thanks for your bug report. This works with Edgy (GNOME 2.16) - which version of Ubuntu do you use? The issue is known upstream already: http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=330057

do you use beagle or not?

[saads (shakhshir)]

No I don't use beagle - just the default nautilus search. I am running Edgy up-to-date. You need to try it on a large filesystem with a lot of files so that the search takes time and you will see that it is still running. I'm running the search on an old windows drive which has 66000+ files.

Confirm on edgy with the standard search

And there's no such button for spatial nautilus.

It's not the same bug. The bug 330057 on Bugzilla's Gnome is about no Stop button on spatial mode.

The actual bug 61807 on Launchpad is about the Stop button that doesn't work.

I've done an upstream bug report about the Stop button not working:

I change the remote watch from 330057 to 563163.

The issue is fixed in Oneiric
