Description Stef Walter 2012-09-21 15:43:01 UTC
Description of problem:

When in the ADD A KEYBOARD LAYOUT dialog, with the focus on the big list, typing doesn't filter the list. Instead it brings up an additional little entry window to type into.

There's a filter entry below the big list. It's confusing to have two search/filter interfaces driven by typing for the same list. Typing should just focus the filter entry below the list, and result in the list being filtered.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

FEDORA 18-Alpha INSTALLATION

How reproducible:

Every time.

That would be confusing, because typing in the list usually results in searching in the list. As we are trying to avoid non-standard behaviour in the GUI, I'm closing this bug as NOTABUG.

BTW, see https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=684565 for why *both* filtering and/or searching based interfaces are broken for this use case.
