There are two text entry fields, one for the group pane and another for the header/overview pane.

It's possibly one of the most requested features, however, and Charles says he'll bring it back due to that, slated for post-1.0, the next stable. He says it's not trivial to program, however, the reason it hasn't been implemented yet. He's not much looking forward to that one, but given the overwhelming number of requests... Bug reference, in case you want to add your vote too. =8^) http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=348445 > I know these guys have/had a ton of work and the performance improvements > are staggering, so thanks for that but am just curious if these two most > useful things are still in pan somewhere (especially the "find" panel). We all appreciate the hard work Charles has put in. =8^) No pressure but it's worth mentioning the tip jar on pan.rebelbase.com once again. I've already publicly stated I plan to put at least a symbolic something in it for 1.0 stable, but I've been thinking lately it might be before that. It won't be a lot, certainly compared to all the work Charles put into the rewrite, but if if a few others join me, it could pay for a nice little 1.0 celebration gift for him and the Mrs. that has been so kindly letting him share his time with pan over the years... that otherwise might have been hers. (Yes, pan has an OE-esque sig delimiter bug ATM. It's under attack and shouldn't last long, thanks be.) -- Duncan - List replies preferred. No HTML msgs.
