Cannot close window if type-ahead entry is open

[Edwin Pujols]

With proposed enabled.

If I type some characters on a Nautilus window the type-ahead text entry will open. If I click the close button of the window (with the text entry still present), it won't close. The minimize and maximize/restore actions do work.

Thanks for the bug report, I mentioned that on bug #1164016

[Daniel Wyatt (daniel-wyatt)]

I think I recall seeing this behavior myself, I must have forgotten to fix it.
I'm on some very slow (50KiB/s down) internet speeds right now so give me time to get updated/upgraded and I'll take a look at this again.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

Thanks Daniel, and don't worry there is no hurry to fix that issue

[Daniel Wyatt (daniel-wyatt)]

Thanks Sebastien.
I did manage to take a look earlier and this seems to be a GTK bug so I've reported it:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=722814

Based on the response I believe this cannot be fixed without using the new GtkPopovers (which was committed to GTK only ~14 hours ago).
I don't really know what GTK version is going to land in Trusty but I'm guessing it won't be anywhere near that recent, right?

indeed not, trusty is going to ship with 3.10. Was the "old" nautilus having that same issue? If not how did it work around it?

[Mateusz Stachowski (stachowski-mateusz)]

Nemo 2.0.8 doesn't have this issue and as you probably know it's derived from Nautilus 3.4

On the other Nautilus (version 3.4.1) in Precise also can't be closed when the type-ahead entry is open.

Ok, so it seems that's not a new issue/a regression compared to 12.04, which means it's probably fine if we don't fix it this cycle either... it would still be interesting to see what nemo is doing though

[Mateusz Stachowski (stachowski-mateusz)]

It is also worth noting that Nemo 1.8.4 that is available in Trusty universe has this issue so it was resolved after that version.

The newer 2.0.8 release can be installed from this PPA:

[Daniel Wyatt (daniel-wyatt)]

I tried nemo 2.0.8 and, as far as I can see, it _does_ have this issue. Or am I missing something?

[Mateusz Stachowski (stachowski-mateusz)]

You must be missing something because I can close Nemo with type-ahead without any problems all the time (several tries).

[Daniel Wyatt (daniel-wyatt)]

To be clear, you are able to close nemo while the type-ahead entry window is visible?

[Mateusz Stachowski (stachowski-mateusz)]

I know what you are missing. In Nemo you also have type-ahead searching in the sidebar panel and when that one is open I cannot close window.

[Daniel Wyatt (daniel-wyatt)]

@Mateusz: Weird, I can't close it if any type-ahead window is visible (sidebar or content pane).

Does this match up with yours?

I just tested nemo 1.8.4 (on trusty) and the window won't close if the
type-ahead entry is shown.

@Edwin: That's expected but can you try 2.0.8 from this PPA: https://launchpad.net/~webupd8team/+archive/nemo

[Edwin Pujols (edwinpm5)]

Ah, sorry I mixed up the versions being put to test.

Just tried with Nemo 2.0.8 and the window /does not/ get closed. What
happens is that the type-ahead entry disappears after a short while.

*Off-topic* BTW, on checking this out, I discovered that Nemo crashes if I
open the About dialog. Not sure if the bug has been filed at the least.

[Mateusz Stachowski (stachowski-mateusz)]

@Daniel: Yes it matches with mine.

I assume that you were testing this in VirtualBox (daniel@daniel-vbox) so I also checked what will happen when running in virtual machine. In VirtualBox I couldn't close Nemo with type-ahead entry open.

I don't know why in my real Ubuntu install it works but in VirtualBox doesn't.

[Daniel Wyatt (daniel-wyatt)]

@Mateusz: Yes, I'm testing in VirtualBox. I guess I'll have to try in a real installation now.

[Sebastien Bacher (seb128)]

@Daniel: I'm not sure that bug is worth spending too much efforts on, as GTK upstream said it has to do with X11 limitation, and it's probably there forever, not something that regressed or is important to fix for the LTS

[Mateusz Stachowski (stachowski-mateusz)]

Yes this bug was always present in Nautilus and I also think that it isn't important.

@Daniel: You don't have to install Trusty. Live CD will suffice and you can use grml-rescueboot which creates an entry in GRUB for booting directly from ISO image.

[Daniel Wyatt (daniel-wyatt)]

@Sebastien: Good point. It's mostly a nuisance I guess.

[Launchpad Janitor (janitor)]

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.
