Both of my suggestions for how to fix this need to be completed in Unity. We could put the string length limitation in hud-service but to do so would be bad because the user interface would still allow longer strings to be entered -- we would simply ignore them. The limitation needs to be in the UI.
The other part of fixing this -- which is not submitting a query while one is still active -- definitely can only be done in the front-end. ** Also affects: unity Importance: Undecided Status: New -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/948820 Title: HUD denial of service To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/indicator-appmenu/+bug/948820/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
