There are at this stage three main options: a. Leave as-is (0.1.8.13): Selected text looks better during search- replace, but black-on-orange highlighted when another application is open. The borders are thinner and there the 'pixmap' theme engine is also loaded. (There is no risk of a crash).
b. Fix properly: Figure out the real solution for Gedit, where the selected text remains readable when Gedit Search-and-replace is open, and returns to the defocused grey state when a different application is focused. This would solve the bug in a clean way. c. Partial revert: Drop the 'gedit.rc' changes introduced in 0.1.8.13 all-together. This would return to the previous status-quo of (0.1.8.12), without solving the highlighting being defocused when search+replace is open, and would require further re-evaluation later. It would drop the pixmap library loading (again, not a crasher, but increases the RSS size). In an ideal world, I'd like to be able to present them all to the release team and let them choose based on the delta-size and impact, with guidance documented here on usability, style, and technical/code sanity from those in a position to give the relevant input. At the moment we don't have all three options, and don't (I feel) have enough expert input. PS. Vish: Bug #767531 was filed to provide status-tracking of the proposed merge being signed (I'm uncomfortable signing things at this stage where there is not a corresponding bug report to provide a feedback/tracking/audit path). There is no Ayatana-Design line in this case, and it had not gone via the Ayatana-Design process. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Desktop Bugs, which is subscribed to gedit in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/740864 Title: Find result is too light gray -- desktop-bugs mailing list desktop-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/desktop-bugs
