Comment 14 for bug 857710

The Oneiric-proposed update partly patches the issue, but a number of issues that have been complained about still remain.

The good:

The search box no longer disappears after the second character is entered.

The bad:

The search box still remains (for 5 seconds) after hitting enter and entering the directory searched for. To reproduce this, go to home folder and type 'Doc', then hit enter to enter the Documents directory. The search box still remains for around 5 seconds. This is particularly annoying if you want to enter a string of directories, having to wait 5 seconds after entering each one, before being able to use typeahead.

The ugly:

How does one clear an error typed in the search box? The usual method was to use the backspace key, but this now takes us to the parent directory. Reproduce by going to home folder, typing 'Dox' and trying to correct the 'x' type by hitting backspace.

The search box doesn't always clear its contents upon disappearing/reappearing. I haven't found a way to specifically reproduce this yet, but it's happening almost randomly (or so it would appear). The box has disappeared and, upon reappearing, there's sometimes the contents of the last search remaining in there - and you can't use backspace to clear it because of the above problem.
