Unfortunately it seems that it's less a question of sense but stubbornness. Immediately after the changes were merged, they came up with the "Find in view is broken issue": https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679900
natermer left a long and very biased comment, indicating that Gnome won't return to the type ahead functionality. Not sure how deep he's involved into developement: https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=680118#c63 It might be worth a try to directly contact the responsible devs and have a polite discussion wether this bug was marked "invalid" on a technical and comprehensible reason, considering design and consistency being a bad tradeoff for usability and freedom of choice. If Gnome then still persist on the Apple pathway, how are the chances of getting a type ahead plugin working? ** Bug watch added: GNOME Bug Tracker #679900 https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=679900 -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1164016 Title: restore type-ahead find To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/nautilus/+bug/1164016/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
