"Type to search" boilerplate appears in menu search box is not overwritten #34

Closed asquartz closed 3 years ago

asquartz commented 4 years ago

What happens: Occasionally, when I press the Cinnamon Menu panel button, the search bar in the menu contains the text "Type to search..." with the cursor to the right of this. When I type a search term, my text appears to the right of the boilerplate, which is not overwritten. See screenshot below. https://imgur.com/wfIvjGU

What should happen: When I open the menu, either the search box should be blank (usually the case for me) or the boilerplate text should be overwritten as soon as you start typing.

Reproducibility: This seems to happen about 1 time in 10 for me. I can't identify what factors trigger it though.

System info from inxi: Kernel: 5.3.0-53-generic x86_64 bits: 64 Desktop: Cinnamon 4.4.8 Distro: Linux Mint 19.3 Tricia

I don't know if anyone's reading these but I'd just like to add that following upgrade to Linux Mint 20 Ulyana, with Cinnamon 4.6.6, this problem still exists.
