Public bug reported:
Right-Clicking with the mouse pointer within the Nautilus search box
intermittently produces an empty shadow of the box (No Text: Cut Copy
Paste Delete | Select All). The empty box appears within a minority of
the attempts. Once the empty shadowbox appears, it persists MOST of the
time, but not always. The remaining box acts as a "dead-zone" for
future mouse pointer actions.
My impression is that the pop-up process only partially completes,
leaving the box waiting for an input that can never happen. Attempts to
left click within the empty shadow box--as if the text was merely
background color--produce no responses.
This bug can be repeated only intermittently, with no identifiable
periodicity. If text does populate the box, then it functions correctly
and closes. If the text does not appear, then it may or may not close.
This behavior is repeatable regardless of mouse pointer placement within
the search box: right, left, or middle.
Repeated invocations of the bug result in an accumulation of the shadow
boxes, positioned relative to the mouse pointer as with normal
functioning nautilus window. In other words, moving the pointer across
the single line search box allows shadow box placement across the
horizontal and moving the Nautilus window up or down allows shadow box
placement across the vertical.
The Screenshot app can capture the desktop image of the box(es).
Rebooting is the only solution that I have found.
