[ubuntu-mono] [Bug 414828] Re: Beagle "no results were found." causes jumping focus and all entry text highlighted, makes typing difficult

[Jeremy Bicha]

Thank you for taking the time to report this bug. We are sorry that we
do not always have the capacity to look at all reported bugs in a timely
manner.

Beagle, the search software, is no longer included in Ubuntu. Unrelated
genetic analysis software named beagle has now been uploaded to Ubuntu's
archives for the next version of Ubuntu. Therefore, to avoid confusion,
I am closing this bug.

** Changed in: beagle (Ubuntu)

Title:
  Beagle "no results were found." causes jumping focus and all entry
  text highlighted, makes typing difficult

Status in beagle package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: beagle

  SUMMARY:  When search results are returned, the Beagle GUI interface
  works well.  When "No results were found" is returned, the interface
  behaves erratically, highlighting the entire text box, and making it
  difficult to adjust your search.

  ~$ lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 9.04
  Release:	9.04
  ~$ apt-cache policy beagle
  beagle:
    Installed: 0.3.9-0ubuntu2
    Candidate: 0.3.9-0ubuntu2

  
  The problem is a bit difficult for me to describe and has two inter-related issues.  Please excuse the excessive detail:

  I have dozens of invoice files in the format "INV-
  YYYYDDMM##-ClientName_JobName.ods" (example:
  INV-2009080601-ABC_Translation1.ods).  I want to find all files from a
  particular month (say 200908), so I do the following steps:

  ISSUE 1:

  Hit: F12 
  - Brings up Beagle

  Type: "INV" 
  - Brings up too many results

  Continue typing: "-2009"
  - Search results displays "No results were found."
  - Focus jumps to search results and back to text input box.
  - ALL Text in text input box is highlighted.

  PROBLEM:  I want to continue typing "08*" to search for "INV-200908*".
  However, at this point all previously typed text is highlighted, so if
  I continue typing, I will accidentally overwrite the existing
  "INV-2009" and replace it with "08*).

  The problem is further compounded because I use "End" or "right arrow"
  to place the cursor at the end of the text input box so that I can
  continue typing.  However, in the time it takes me to move my hand
  back from End key to the home row, "No results were found" again pops
  up, the focus jumps, and my entire text "INV-2009" is highlighted
  again. I am therefore racing against the "No results were found." in
  order to input my correct search.

  FIX: When "No results were found.", return focus to the text input
  window, with a blinking cursor just after the most-recently-typed
  letter, rather than highlighting the entire text.

  
  ISSUE 2:

  Under these same circumstances as above:

  Hit: F12 
  - Brings up Beagle

  Type: "INV-20090809*" 
  - Search results displays "No results were found." (Correct, I had no invoices that day)
  - Focus jumps to search results and back to text input box.
  - ALL Text in text input box is highlighted.

  Click between "9" and "*", then backspace two times to show "INV-200908*"
  - All results are shown (many invoices from 2009-August)
  - Focus is lost.

  PROBLEM:  Focus moves away from the text input box and we don't know
  where.  Must use TAB, arrow keys, or mouse to move cursor to text
  input box.  This problem only occurs AFTER a "No results were found."
  result is returned.
