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.
thank you for your bug report, this bug has been fixed one week ago though you should do regular updates before reporting bugs if you run the unstable ubuntu version
