Ctrl + F search disengages immediately after CTRL + F pressed

Status changed to 'Confirmed' because the bug affects multiple users.

That's still an issue but it seems to work if started with
$ GTK_IM_MODULE=xim gnome-software

so an issue with ibus? (same problem with GTK_IM_MODULE=)

Fix proposed upstream: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/merge_requests/199

On Ubuntu 19.10 gnome-software 3.30.6-2ubuntu3 Ctrl+F does not open the search bar but closes it if already open by click on the magnifying glass icon.

It was fixed on https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/commit/62153c4a

This bug was fixed in the package gnome-software - 3.30.6-2ubuntu5

Ok, so I have some trouble with the SRUs addressing this bug. Per SRU policy [1], we in generall only should only aim for fixing 'high-impact bugs'. This bug seems to be marked with an importance of Low, which normally isn't per-se good SRU material (if it was bundled with some other, high-importance changes, the story would be slightly different). That being said, the issue does seem to be quite annoying and getting it fixed can improve the overall user-experience for our LTS users.

That being said, after actually checking the change, I feel it's safe enough that I think I'll be accepting this for both series - mainly for bionic, but let's also get disco as 'consistency' for people doing funny upgrades to a non-LTS series.

Hello Scott, or anyone else affected,

Accepted gnome-software into disco-proposed. The package will build now and be available at https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/gnome-software/3.30.6-2ubuntu4.19.04.1 in a few hours, and then in the -proposed repository.

Please help us by testing this new package. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation on how to enable and use -proposed. Your feedback will aid us getting this update out to other Ubuntu users.

If this package fixes the bug for you, please add a comment to this bug, mentioning the version of the package you tested and change the tag from verification-needed-disco to verification-done-disco. If it does not fix the bug for you, please add a comment stating that, and change the tag to verification-failed-disco. In either case, without details of your testing we will not be able to proceed.

N.B. The updated package will be released to -updates after the bug(s) fixed by this package have been verified and the package has been in -proposed for a minimum of 7 days.

Actually, I don't see an upload for bionic for fixing this bug. The task was already set to 'Fix Committed' - where is the bionic fix committed? Is it in the current bionic gnome-software already?

It's committed in the disco packaging repository, but not uploaded. I planned on bundling that change with other changes in an SRU.

Installing 3.30.6-2ubuntu4.19.04.1 and restarting gnome-software, then ctrl-F does display the widget
