searching makes notes wider

[David Prieto]

Binary package hint: tomboy

You are running 0.5.2. You have a note. It's relatively narrow:

but then you do a search:

It's almost twice as wide now. Even after closing the search dialog, the new size stays:

This is not desirable. In order to avoid it, the "previous" and "next" buttons should not have any text since that would result in a much smaller search menu.

Can confirm with Tomboy 0.6.3 in Feisty

I'm not sure why this is marked as "fix released", it still happens with 0.9.5 in Hardy.

@David: It shouldn't happen at the default note size. If you make a very thin note, it will expand when searching inside the note, but it will not get nearly as wide as before.

[David Prieto (frandavid100-gmail)]

It does make notes wider, standard ones too, at least in Spanish: that might be because "buscar siguiente" is longer than "search next".

Maybe "search next" could be replaced by just "next", or the "search" text to the left of the text box could be removed. Having the word "search" twice is unnecessary and removing one of them could solve the problem.

Fixed on Hardy, thanks for reporting.
