I have found a workaround, although it is a bit of a pain to do every time.
If I right-click in the search bar and select a different "Input Method" then I can type and find works as expected. Whenever evince is opened the input method always already selected is: "System (IBus (Intelligent Input Bus))" If I select something else from the list, including "None", "Simple" or "X Input Method" then I can type. If I select "System (IBus)" then I can't type again. So the problem seems to be related to this in some way. If I try the same thing in gedit then I find I can type with "System (IBus)" selected without any problems. Evince is the only thing I have seen this behaviour in so far. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1247621 Title: Cannot type in evince search field in Ubuntu 13.10 To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/evince/+bug/1247621/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
