This is a bug in the GnomeEntry widget. Assign bug to GnomeEntry author. |
(Gtk bug?) If for example you're entering the pathname of an icon for a launcher on the GNOME panel (or indeed entering text in any Gtk text field with a history dropdown, it seems), it remembers any old entries in the history dropdown. This is great, but there are two bugs: + it doesn't remove duplicates from the history dropdown + if there is an entry in the history dropdown which matches the one you are trying to enter, ignoring differences in case, it auto-corrects your entries capitalization to that of the one in the history. This is very nice except for one problem: if you got the capitalization wrong first time, you're then sunk -- you can't enter it the right way!
