Description

This is a feature of new file dialog introduced in GTK3 (check gedit for the same behaviour). You can start search by pressing '/' or Ctrl-l. Searching is slightly modified. I'll reassign this bug to gtk because this dialog is not made in mozilla code. Maybe someone from gtk is able to help there. Note that Firefox in Fedora 21 is using GTK2 while Fedora 22 use GTK3 backend. You're right. Anyway, I consider the new way 'unhealthy', since it doesn't scroll to the first matched entry and therefore the user has no overview about the closest entries. I need to see the matches and need to be able to tune the selection with arrows. Moreover ... the CTRL+L combination stops working randomly and I have to hit the slash instead. That produces an unwanted slash character on the search line, that I need to remove. Sorry, but the new way is cumbersome. There's no reason for making the old way stop working. It didn't conflict with anything. Moreover it is unintuitive as most of the users would expect search under CTRL+F. CTRL+L or the "/" workaround overwrites the filename in Save dialog. That's really bad when I try to Save something... I have to just use the mouse and my alphabet knowledge to go through directory structure... This decreases productivity a lot... Just try saving this page to ~/Downloads in Firefox using gtk3 dialog, it's really pain. Fedora 22 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2016-07-19. Fedora 22 is no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug. If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this bug. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed. |
