It's Evolution 2.8.0-0ubuntu1. As far as I know, I did not activate any option.
When the entry has focus, it's blank here too. If I choose an option from the dropdown menu that can be reached via the icon in the left part of the entry, the entry gets focused and thus there's no background text. But if I focus something else, for example click on an email message, the focus shifts away from the entry and the background text appears. Also, the background text mimics the choice made in the what-to-search dropdown box. So if you choose "Recipients contains" and make sure the entry doesn't have focus, the background text will be "Recipients contains". The problematic options is "Subject or Sender contains" since it's a few pixels too wide. -- [Edgy] Default background text in search entry doesn't fit https://launchpad.net/bugs/60558 -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
