[Openmcl-devel] issues with search-files dialog

[Paul Krueger]

I’ve run into this behavior (a and c) and I believe it is caused by entering a search string and then clicking the search button without first exiting the search string field. In theory the dialog window should ensure that when the button is pushed that every field entry is finalized so that the new search string is actually read, but it clearly does not do that. Thus you get the results from the previous string, which if null matches every line in all files. So this is a bug in the interface code for this window. The work-around is just to be sure to tab out of a field before hitting the search button. I don’t believe that I’ve seen the behavior you describe in b.
