Bug Description
Binary package hint: tomboy
I came across this problem today:
I searched for a particular note by typing in the search box, some notes displayed in the search results. I opened one of the notes and closed it after reading. Now I wanted to search something else, so I had to clear the text box. Unknowingly I used Ctrl+A and Delete key to clear the text (rather than using the clear text button available in Tomboy UI) .
What should have happened: The search box should have cleared.
What happened instead: A message box popped up, asking me if I am sure I want to delete the selected note ?
p.s.: Using Ctrl+A and backspace clears the text box as expected.
You don't need to select text and then hit the delete key to reproduce this bug. Even if you select one of the notes in the right pane, and then move the keyboard focus to the search drop down box, and then hit Delete, you will face this problem.
