Version: (using KDE KDE 3.4.2) Installed from: Fedora RPMs I start a search in my huge home directory, then I insert some word in the "containing text..." field or whatever it is called in english, then I start the search, which lasts long. Then I close the window with the close button, and kfind keeps running in background, keeping my hard drive busy; I have to manually kill it.
Still there in kde 3.5
Created attachment 13866 [details] patch to kfinddlg.cpp
it's more than 1 month since I submitted the patch, I emailed Eric Coquelle directly but did not get any reply, what should I do to get this bug fixed? The patch is just one line - I originally thought I was doing a good thing by fixing a small bug myself instead of just reporting it - BTW it took me 1 hour to get the source, understand it (I never saw a qt application before) and fix that stupid bug - maybe in a not so correct way, I don't know.
