[Brad Phillips]

In the People search, query disappears if user pushes backspace to less than 3 characters

actually it's because it doesn't start searching before the third letter, can fix by making it display the full list again

[Bassel Safadi (bassel)]

I mean display the full list of users if user pushed backspace less than 3 chars

Jon and Bassel, the real problem is that the *query* entered in the search text field will just *disappear* if you hit backspace to fewer than three characters. Its not about what does or does not appear in the people search widget. It's that that text you are entering gets erased. Bad UX!

[Bassel Safadi (bassel)]

ah ok Christopher, I see the but now.
mmm it's because the whole widget refresh have to move the search to static part, no problem can fix

thanks for the explanation

[rejon (rejon)]

then what is the solution? no solution is not a solution. no excuses.

no excuses where made, no one said there is no solution, I said: no problem. can fix it
solution: move the search field to the static part of the widget.
so doing that fixed the problem
