Description Jesse Glick 2003-12-17 11:59:07 UTC 
dev-031215. Recently I have noticed that the
automatic search in the Explorer is broken.
Normally you can start typing letters and it will
search. But recently the first letter or two pops
up the dialog, which is then immediately closed
(some focus thing?) and then it starts trying to
search on later letters, which does not work.

Jesse, I tried reproduce it and it worked generally good, only way
what, I had seen, was popup was closed by a unintentional press the
touch pad. Are you able reproduce it and also avoid any press the
touch pad, e.g. reproduce with a external keyboard?
Comment 2 Jiri Rechtacek 2004-03-24 10:43:35 UTC 
No response for long time, closed as WORKSFORME.

Comment 4 Jesse Glick 2004-03-24 12:11:51 UTC 
I don't know. I definitely have problems with it once in a while but I
am not sure how to reproduce. What happens is that occasionally I will
start typing text and it will pop up the search window but the first
character will not be included, so it will try to start searching from
the second. (E.g. I type "form" and it shows "orm" in the search
window.) But I cannot reproduce it reliably; seems to be
timing-related. Managed to reproduce it a couple of times right now in
a trunk build, but can't do it repeatedly.

Not a touchpad issue; I have no touchpad.
Comment 5 Jesse Glick 2004-06-21 18:57:54 UTC 
This continues to happen to me from time to time; not reproducible on
any particular occasion but happens often enough to know that it is
not just a fluke, something is really broken.

(Doubly annoying due to #44394: after you get sent to the wrong node
(e.g. open / in Favorites and type "tmp" and the field shows "mp" and
select "mnt"), pressing Escape closes the window and you have to start
over. And then pressing Ctrl-3 again does not work before of another
bug I have filed, etc. Sigh.)
Comment 6 Petr Nejedly 2005-02-04 11:37:36 UTC 
If I manage to reproduce it, I'll try to fix it for 4.1
Comment 7 Jesse Glick 2005-03-11 23:44:45 UTC 
Continues to happen to me regularly.
Comment 8 Petr Nejedly 2007-10-29 15:22:24 UTC 
Fixed a week or so ago.
Comment 9 Jesse Glick 2007-10-29 20:06:17 UTC 
You can't provide CVS revision info?
Comment 10 Petr Nejedly 2007-10-29 20:45:39 UTC 
I can, I was just lazy to look it up.
I fixed the problem as issue 117173, the fix ended in:
openide/explorer/src/org/openide/explorer/view/TreeView.java,v1.28
