Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: gedit
I have Ubuntu 9.04 (Jaunty) alpha 4 and its gedit (2.25.7-0ubuntu2) got
stuck in a strange state.
If I choose "Search" by menu, toolbar or Ctrl+F the search window opens
with a disabled Find button (see attachment). The button stays disabled
when I type in some text or change the four checkboxes. As consequence
pressing enter in the textfield does nothing. Even if I quit gedit (no
more processes named "gedit") and then restart it, the Find button stays
disabled.
The only way to "repair" it temporarily is to choose a former search
string from the drop-down-menu in the textfield. This enables the Find
button immediately and it stays enabled if I edit, delete and re-enter
the search string, or close and reopen the search window. But if I quit
gedit and restart it, then the Find button is and stays disabled again.
Normally the Find button is disabled only if the textfield is empty.
Unfortunately I have no idea what action got my gedit so distempered.
While exploring this (just after the first quit & restart) I saw a
dialog saying that gedit had crashed. Recently I only worked with
normal, short UTF-8 text files and yesterday I enabled the "Session
Saver" plugin and saved the current session - so, nothing adventurous I
guess.
I'll add a comment, if I discover how to reproduce this.
