Entering text moves selection point to end

[user967]

When typing text in the search box in transmission-qt, the cursor is moved to the end. It does not seem possible to insert or delete more than one character in the search, except for at the right end.

Confirmed. Thanks for the report.

Fix. Left the deleted code in case this change breaks something else, seems fine after some testing.

[user967]

thanks, I am testing this on trunk now, and will add information if I notice any problem.

seems to work as expected so far though.

I'm not looking at the code right now but IIRC that line that you're commenting out is to keep the UI in sync with the settings from the server. A better approach might be to update the field unless it's got focus (ie, the user's editing it).

rb07, do you want to try that approach & see if it's acceptable in your tests?

jordan,

I don't understand your comment. What does the filter have to do with the server? or the settings?

We are talking about a filter on the torrent list view. Local or remote session has nothing to do with this.

Ooop you are completely right, I was thinking this was about entries in the prefs dialog.

[jordan]

I've taken out the Prefs::FILTER_TEXT handling as per rb07's patch, WfM.

Committed in r13706.

r13704 does not appear to be related to this ticket. filterbar.cc is unchanged in trunk since 08/01/11.

I am ignorant about this issue apart from what I reported. In particular, the purpose of the commented line in the proposed patch is not clear to me, but it seems worth mentioning that I noticed the same behavior in some other QT app's search box a few days ago, though I cant seem to reproduce it now. I wonder then, if this bug could be due to some change in QT, and if the old code may have some purpose for older QT.

I pasted the wrong revision number above; I meant r13706. I've fixed the comment in an edit :)

[user967]

sorry for the trouble. my mistake, I was not viewing trunk after all.

thank you for qt client improvements and other optimizations in progress.
