unity social media scope is not able to search

[Sasa Paporovic]

I have integrated facebook in the unity desktop. In the socail media scope of unity/HUD there is a search filed for the social media content. It is sometimes not working.

Steps to reproduce:

1.Call system setting- >Online account -> enable ubuntu facebook acess
2.Use the unity HUD and the social media scope
3.Search within the social media scope on facebook content and see that the search field is sometimes not working.

Hello Sasa,

Have you tried to see if the scope works after logging out and logging back in again?

Thank you for reporting this issue.

I've been able to reproduce the bug on my system, and it doesn't seem to work after logging out/logging back in. I'm guessing it won't work on your system either.

Hi there and sorry for the late reply. Semms to be that I have not got emails for the comments until the last of Marco.

I do net see the clue of logging out and logging in. In a normal workflow it should not be needed by the user to do this during s/he is just doing everday communications. Also this can't be a important question for triaging.

Anyway, on restarting, which do also a logout and login, even when it does more than this, the error is sometimes gone, and sometimes not. After a couple of work in a session it occures occasionally. I could not determine on which circumstances and I have tested well, because and just BTW:

I have used this for a commercial Video-Seminar and show the social media integration within Unity:

The social media scope is shown there, and I have felt free to work arround a little bit and not showing this paper cut to the learner.

The Video_seminar will become availble within the next 3 weeks, and also through amazon.com. So, it may be that in futhur some more people, guided by my clips, will hit this problem.
