** Description changed: Binary package hint: gnome-panel - In Ubuntu 8.10, the Gnome panel run application dialog has an + In Ubuntu 8.04, the Gnome panel run application dialog has an autocomplete feature that fills in the name of an application as you type. As soon as there is only one application match, it includes and selects the remaining letters. However, if the user continues to type the application's name, after the first letter, the cursor is moved to the end of the auto-completed word. 1. I want to run firefox. I open the "run application dialog", and type "fir" 2. Auto-complete fills in and highlightes "efox". 3. I type "e", and the cursor is moved to the end of the filled-in word "firefox" and the word is deselected. 4. If I continue to type, the letters come at the end of the word, such as "firefoxfox". The behavior the dialog should have is to continue to highlight the autocompleted word, so that additional typed characters overwrite it instead of being appended to the end of it. If the user wishes to accept the autocomplete suggestion and append more characters, she or he can use the arrow keys or the mouse to deselect the word and move the cursor to the end. This was the behavior in earlier versions, and in every similar autocomplete system I've seen. + + Edit 2008-05-19: fixed to read "Ubuntu 8.04" instead of eroneous + "8.10".
