Overview: Clicking "Insert emoji" in the right-click context menu on the search box limits the search to a single character. Steps to reproduce: 1) Ctrl-F or start typing to bring up search box. 2) Right-click in the box and select "Insert emoji" - Search bar disappears and you're unable to close Thunar or type to search 3) Left-click on a file icon - You can now close Thunar or search 4) Start typing to bring up search box Expected results: Able to type more than one character and search as normal. Actual results: Only one character is input and anything after is ignored, including the enter key. Additional details: Fedora 30 (Xfce spin) Thunar 1.8.6
Which version of exo? It could be bug 15100 (comment #5 mentions the problem with input being ignored).
Yep you're right, exo 0.12.5 fixes the issue (I was using exo 0.12.4). I do apologise, I had no idea exo was responsible for search. However Thunar is still unable to be closed when right-clicking and selecting Insert emoji. Is this also an exo issue?
It probably is. The search bar just disappears when right-clicking it and no "Insert Emoji" dialog is shown. This is a bug too, and it is most likely part of the lockup problem. I suggest to open a new report.
Thanks. I've opened a new report in exo (bug 15451)
