Comment 60 for bug 22930

i have this "bug" (or i'd say, annoyance) too, on 7.04 with xfce (but in gnome too) on several machines.
when i start synaptic, i used to move the mouse on the search button while it loads the list, for a faster searching. but when the load completes and the search button becomes active, it's not clickable - have to move the mouse off it and than back, as described in the first post.

i wonder why this couldn't been fixed since years? strange. but i'm not complaining, ubuntu is still a superb little OS. :)
