Bug Description
Test case:
1. install the new nautilus from -proposed and logout/login
2. ensure that the testcase below doesn't trigger the bug anymore
When I type in Nautilus to select files by name, often the wrong file is selected, as if my typing had been cut short or re-evaluated partway through. A screencast is attached.
ProblemType: Bug
DistroRelease: Ubuntu 11.10
Package: nautilus 1:3.1.92-0ubuntu2
ProcVersionSign
Uname: Linux 3.0.0-11-generic x86_64
ApportVersion: 1.23-0ubuntu1
Architecture: amd64
Date: Fri Sep 23 12:50:09 2011
ExecutablePath: /usr/bin/nautilus
InstallationMedia: Ubuntu 11.04 "Natty Narwhal" - Beta amd64 (20110413)
SourcePackage: nautilus
UpgradeStatus: Upgraded to oneiric on 2011-09-23 (0 days ago)
(from duplicate bug #872090)------
To reproduce:
On a previous version of ubuntu (Natty, Maverick) open nautilus.
Click in the file and folder area.
Press backspace until you are in the root of the file system.
Type 'e'. 'etc' should be selected. Press enter to open /etc/
Notice the search box disappears and /etc opens.
Type 'uf' 'ufw' should be selected. Notice you did not have to clear out the 'e' you typed into the search last time. Press backspace to clear the character 'f' from the current search, 'uf'. Notice the character 'f' is deleted and that you are still in /etc/.
Type 'd' and press enter to open /etc/udev.
Now, try the same test on Oneiric:
On a Oneiric, open nautilus.
Click in the file and folder area.
Press backspace until you are in the root of the file system.
Type 'et'. Notice that the search box disappears after typing the second letter (Not expected, a bug).
Press enter to open the currently selected /etc.
Type 'ud' and notice that no search comes up (this is a bug).
Close nautilus and reopen.
Type 'docu' to select documents, press backspace to delete 'u' and press enter. Notice the search works as expected.
Press backspace to navigate up (this is working normal)
Type 'Public'. Notice search still works as expected. Press enter.
Press backspace until you are in the root of the filesystem.
Apparently, search works properly in the home folder, but not in other folders!
On my machine, I'm using btrfs with (the installer set up) subvolumes for / and /home. However, this bug is still the same for root's home folder, which is only on the / subvolume!
