[Dx-packages] [Bug 1142435] Re: Dash file search doesn't provide sufficient information to distinguish between files with the same name
The same problem exists even for files with diffrent but similar names because Filenames are truncated and there is no way to see the full Filename in the dash. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of DX Packages, which is subscribed to unity in Ubuntu.
