pcmanfm: after start the first letter typed is ignored, searching begins with second letter

[Toscho]

Usually, letters typed in pcmanfm result in pcmanfm searching for directories/files beginning with that letter(s). since 12.04 pcmanfm ignores the first letter typed after starting pcmanfm. after escaping such a search and restarting typing letters during the same pcmanfm session, the first letter is recognized.

waiting after starting pcmanfm doesn't help either.

Thank you for reporting this bug. Unfortunately, we cannot troubleshoot this bug without a little more information, as I cannot reproduce this behavior in a currently supported version of Lubuntu (14.04, 14.10).

Are you still encountering this behavior? If so, would you please update this ticket with the version of PCManFM you are using?

One way to find that is by selecting LXTerminal and typing "apt-cache policy pcmanfm" or "ubuntu-bug pcmanfm"

If you are no longer encountering this behavior, this ticket will expire in 60 days. Thank you again for helping us improve Lubuntu.
