Description of problem: When I want to run a program, or search for file, after typing one letter (a, s, k, m...) Shell freezes. All I can do is moving mouse and switch to text console. Top says, that shell takes 100% cpu and minor amounts of ram. I can't kill it, but I can reboot without any problems. Some letters don't "do" this: "x", or "v" works fine. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): Fedora 16 Beta and Gnome Shell 3.2 How reproducible: Always. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Hit WIN key. 2. Type "a", or "s", or "m", or "k". 3. Do nothing, because you can. Actual results: Shell freezes. Expected results: Run app. Additional info: I can fix it, at least temporary. Removing Gnome configuration (.config, .chache, etc...) solves the problem for about 3-4 days. I believe it's a problem with Gnome cache, where it stores apps and previously opened files. I just don't know where this cache is. Also check http://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?t=264266
Identical behavior. Typing a single letter into App search box freezes the box. Fedora 16 64-bit. On Ubuntu 11.10 64-bit Gnome 3.2 all works correct.
London Smoke theme can't show Epiphany contacts on search and all Gnome hangs. Turning Epiphany accounts off solved the problem.
I have the same behavior; Initially I sow that if I search something no apps are searched (only contacts and documents) an from that momment some time it crash some time -no (I have disabled all extensions- and in this way it doesn't crash) reboot log in disable all extension and reeneable them search - don't crash - only search dos and contacts reboott login and search - instant crash
