Activities search: Odd cursor overlay #429

Closed brs17 closed 4 years ago

brs17 commented 4 years ago

Describe the problem: When selecting the Activities search bar, a cursor appears. This cursor is overlayed above the "Type to search" text. The cursor and T overlap oddly.

In previous Pop!_OS releases, the "Type to search" text disappears when the text box is selected and only the cursor is shown.

activity_search

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Press the Super key.
  2. With the cursor, select the search bar at the top (labeled "Type to search")

Distribution: Pop!_OS 20.04

Pop version: 5.0.0~1581376555~20.04~ed888e9

This behavior also occurs with Adwaita, as well as the new version of the theme which supports 3.36. This leads me to believe this is a change in the way 3.36 draws entry widgets, and not something related to the theme.

I can't seem to find any styling selectors which affect this issue. I think what's happening is the toolkit is drawing the placeholder as a text widget the same as it would for actual typed text. I don't think this is possible to change with CSS, and thus would need to be patched in the Shell code to actually have an effect.

I agree. This looks like a gnome-shell issue.

Closing here for now, since this isn't something the theme can fix. We can open a new issue or reopen and transfer this when we've decided how/if we'll handle this.
