Mark Schwartz in https://www.redhat.com/archives/fedora-extras-list/2005-June/msg00516.html : When selecting "Find" from the toolbar, the dialog comes up properly. However, when typing in the text to search for, nothing appears in the input field in the dialog. I noted however, when using a mouse to expand the lower border of the dialog window, the text appears in a space, below the dialog and above the window border.
I have my window behaviour (in KDE) set to "Focus follows mouse", and when the window opens initially (focused), the text appears in the correct place. After moving the mouse pointer out of the find dialog and then back (ie. unfocus and then focus again), _then_ the text starts to appear in the wrong place.
Ville, Curiously, I cannot replicate the behavior with metacity under GNOME. The text is always misplaced, irrespective of the mouse/focus settings. Thanks for the follow up. Marc
For reference, upstream report (no responses so far): http://list-archive.xemacs.org/xemacs-beta/200506/msg00171.html
Still occurs in FC-5 and FC-6, bumping to non-EOL'd distro version.
21.5.28 doesn't seem to fix it, nor F7.

Fedora apologizes that these issues have not been resolved yet. We're sorry it's taken so long for your bug to be properly triaged and acted on. We appreciate the time you took to report this issue and want to make sure no important bugs slip through the cracks. If you're currently running a version of Fedora Core between 1 and 6, please note that Fedora no longer maintains these releases. We strongly encourage you to upgrade to a current Fedora release. In order to refocus our efforts as a project we are flagging all of the open bugs for releases which are no longer maintained and closing them. http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/LifeCycle/EOL If this bug is still open against Fedora Core 1 through 6, thirty days from now, it will be closed 'WONTFIX'. If you can reporduce this bug in the latest Fedora version, please change to the respective version. If you are unable to do this, please add a comment to this bug requesting the change. Thanks for your help, and we apologize again that we haven't handled these issues to this point. The process we are following is outlined here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/F9CleanUp We will be following the process here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping to ensure this doesn't happen again.

Ville et al, I gave up on XEmacs quite some time ago and am using Emacs 23 from cvs under F8. Unless somebody else is still bothered by this issue, as far as I am concerned, it can be closed. Thanks for the follow up.
I've just verified that the issue is still present in F-8, leaving open.
Originally, I reported this bug because of issues in PyMol and MatLab, unaware of issues in Xemacs. Specifically, the PyMol (0.99c) main menu text entry box had the same kind of issue: typing in it would be to no avail (typing in the visualization window is fine), and MatLab file open/close dialogs would have similar behavior. However, the PyMol issue seems to have been resolved as of FC7. I don't have MatLab on this machine, but perhaps someone could report on whether its behavior is similarly resolved? If so, then that would indicate at least some progress has been made.
This message is a reminder that Fedora 8 is nearing its end of life. Approximately 30 (thirty) days from now Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 8. It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as WONTFIX if it remains open with a Fedora 'version' of '8'. Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' to a later Fedora version prior to Fedora 8's end of life. Bug Reporter: Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we may not be able to fix it before Fedora 8 is end of life. If you would still like to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version of Fedora please change the 'version' of this bug to the applicable version. If you are unable to change the version, please add a comment here and someone will do it for you. Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes bugs or makes them obsolete. The process we are following is described here: http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/BugZappers/HouseKeeping
Fedora 8 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2009-01-07. Fedora 8 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. Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
