GtkDialog - What's this funny input box in tree widget?

#1 Post by MochiMoppel »

When I press an alphanumeric key in the tree widget, a mystery input box at the right bottom corner pops up.
What is this box good for? I couldn't find a description in the documentation. If it has no function at all - apart from annoying users - how can I disable it?

Hmm, it's suppose to be an interactive search box, however I can't make it to work properly, even with additional search-column attribute.
Anyway, this can be disabled by:

Code: Select all

<tree enable-search="false">

Thanks! I take comfort in the fact that this "feature" doesn't even work in more polished applications than mine. Example: "Edit bookmarks" dialog in ROX Filer :lol:
