[Bug 892997] Re: Shell search shows deleted files, duplicates for moved documents

Under 17.04 with GNOME Shell 3.24, the bug seems to have been fixed. File search works as expected and does not create duplicate entries; moving a file around to arbitrary places in my Home with recursive searching enabled, the Shell search immediately finds it when I search by filename from the Ov

Much thanks for the workaround, in any case. xinput's obviously not really an enduser-focused tool, and the property number for evdev scrolling distance has changed to three different ones in the couple of days I've been using it. But it's nice to get basic functionality out of this mouse. I also h

We just need a proper mouse settings tool. In Windows, I can reassign buttons freely on my seven-button mouse through the GUI. A third-party GUI from Logitech, but a GUI nonetheless.

Point of fact, I think it's actually failing to recognize the microphone in a corded headset that I normally don't use for the laptop itself.

It's very annoying. The hardware detects whether or not there is a microphone present in the headset. If there isn't, I only have the one 3.5mm port, so it's not like I could attach one.
