Bug Description
Binary package hint: gedit
I have Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) alpha 4 and its gedit (2.25.7-0ubuntu2) got stuck in a strange state.
If I choose "Search" by menu, toolbar or Ctrl+F the search window opens with a disabled Find button (see attachment). The button stays disabled when I type in some text or change the four checkboxes. As consequence pressing enter in the textfield does nothing. Even if I quit gedit (no more processes named "gedit") and then restart it, the Find button stays disabled.
The only way to "repair" it temporarily is to choose a former search string from the drop-down-menu in the textfield. This enables the Find button immediately and it stays enabled if I edit, delete and re-enter the search string, or close and reopen the search window. But if I quit gedit and restart it, then the Find button is and stays disabled again. Normally the Find button is disabled only if the textfield is empty.
Unfortunately I have no idea what action got my gedit so distempered. While exploring this (just after the first quit & restart) I saw a dialog saying that gedit had crashed. Recently I only worked with normal, short UTF-8 text files and yesterday I enabled the "Session Saver" plugin and saved the current session - so, nothing adventurous I guess.
I'll add a comment, if I discover how to reproduce this.
