Currently, to search, you either have to press ctrl-F once then enter the search term, or you must press ctrl-F twice then enter the search term. If you use the wrong procedure, search doesn't work. That's unusual, error-prone, and could be easily fixed.

While this could make sense, I find it quite counter intuitive: * I'm reading a PDF * I want to search "foo": I type CTRL+F and "foo", it works * I find the occurence of "foo" I'm interested in * I continue reading, *without leaving the search mode* * at some point, I want to search for "bar", so * I type CTRL+F and "bar"... but CTRL+F just turns off the search mode, and "bar" is ignored This is quite frustrating. As the search mode can be left with ESC, I suggest to change the behaviour of CTRL+F to setting the focus to the search box, so that CTRL+F *always* results in searching To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1325650/+subscriptions -- Mailing list: https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages Post to : desktop-packages@lists.launchpad.net Unsubscribe : https://launchpad.net/~desktop-packages More help : https://help.launchpad.net/ListHelp
