RHEL Engineering is moving the tracking of its product development work on RHEL 6 through RHEL 9 to Red Hat Jira (issues.redhat.com). If you're a Red Hat customer, please continue to file support cases via the Red Hat customer portal. If you're not, please head to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira and file new tickets here. Individual Bugzilla bugs in the statuses "NEW", "ASSIGNED", and "POST" are being migrated throughout September 2023. Bugs of Red Hat partners with an assigned Engineering Partner Manager (EPM) are migrated in late September as per pre-agreed dates. Bugs against components "kernel", "kernel-rt", and "kpatch" are only migrated if still in "NEW" or "ASSIGNED". If you cannot log in to RH Jira, please consult article #7032570. That failing, please send an e-mail to the RH Jira admins at rh-issues@redhat.com to troubleshoot your issue as a user management inquiry. The email creates a ServiceNow ticket with Red Hat. Individual Bugzilla bugs that are migrated will be moved to status "CLOSED", resolution "MIGRATED", and set with "MigratedToJIRA" in "Keywords". The link to the successor Jira issue will be found under "Links", have a little "two-footprint" icon next to it, and direct you to the "RHEL project" in Red Hat Jira (issue links are of type "https://issues.redhat.com/browse/RHEL-XXXX", where "X" is a digit). This same link will be available in a blue banner at the top of the page informing you that that bug has been migrated.

Description Bill Sanford 2016-08-18 16:46:38 UTC 
Created attachment 1191945 [details]
This is the text box that is completely blank

Description of problem:
When adding or editing a text box in GIMP, the list of fonts can become blank if you delete what is in the font search box. When that font box is empty, there should be a tool tip or an icon of a search magnifying glass to designate what it is to show the user that it is a search box. 

I am putting this bug to GIMP if GTK will let GIMP add this feature. If not, this should be moved to GTK.

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
RHEL-7.3-20160817.1
gimp-2.8.16-3.el7.x86_64
gtk2-2.24.28-8.el7.x86_64
gtk3-3.14.13-20.el7.x86_64

Comment 1 Josef Ridky 2016-08-22 13:35:01 UTC 
This issue has been discussed with upstream.
They don't think that this is bug, but Feature request and even not such important request, so they will put it in their long term plan.

Anyway, when user remove font name from this field, user should know, what type of information should be filled in this field. And even, when user starts typing something in this field, automatically is shown list of available fonts, so user can choose one of them.

Because of the upstream answer, I am closing this issue as NOTABUG.

I think you should close it as UPSTREAM then.
Comment 3 Ray Strode [halfline] 2016-08-23 21:15:18 UTC 
Do you mind linking the upstream bug in "External Trackers" on this report?

One easy, oneline, near-time fix might be:

gtk_entry_set_placeholder_text (entry, _("Type font name here"));
Comment 4 Josef Ridky 2016-08-24 08:08:33 UTC 
Yes, this fix could work, if actual version of GIMP uses GTK+3 library. Unfortunately, GIMP uses just GTK+, so this function is unavailable for current GIMP version. 

GIMP version after 2.10 will get GTK+3, so there will be the right time to use this fix.
Comment 5 Bill Sanford 2017-09-15 13:12:37 UTC 
What about a drop-down list of fonts like LibraOffice has?
