Description Benjamin Kay 2008-10-21 01:08:19 UTC 
Version:           3.0 Beta 4 (Sheldon) (using KDE 4.1.2)
Compiler:          gcc 4.3.1 x86_64
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages

If the user types "lib" into the quick-search, adept will immediately become unresponsive for several minutes before displaying a list of all matching packages. It would help if adept waited a second or two after every keystroke (as it did in KDE 3) before doing a quick-search, in case (for example) the user were actually trying to type in "liberty" or something else that isn't going to bring up a bajillion packages. It would also be nice if the user could abort a time-consuming search by pressing backspace or something, instead of having to wait for adept to become responsive again.

My system:
x86_64 Kubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) Beta
KDE 4.1.2
Adept 3.0 Beta 4 (Sheldon)
Comment 1 Francisco González 2008-10-24 11:51:08 UTC 
I can confirm this issue, on Kubuntu Intrepid Ibex Beta with Adept 3.0 Beta 4.
Comment 2 Peter Rockai 2008-11-16 14:35:38 UTC 
Indeed. I think this has been fixed in kubuntu (not sure the collateral damage has been cleared up yet), but I'll fix this for next version.
Comment 3 Benjamin Kay 2009-03-04 03:56:51 UTC 
Peter correctly observed that this is fixed in Kubuntu. I can't think of any reason to keep this bug open.
Comment 4 Jonathan Thomas 2009-03-09 13:27:04 UTC 
The fix was Ubuntu-only, and was questionably implemented.
Comment 5 Peter Rockai 2009-08-07 13:41:51 UTC 
This is fixed (properly) in beta6 (available in Debian Sid near you).
