Description Dwayne Bailey 2009-01-06 02:32:51 UTC 
If you enter a \ in gpk-application's search text area although the 'Find' button disables you can still hot 'Enter' and get an error dialog.

My suggestions:
1) Disallow entry of unaccepted characters.  I'm not sure what the HIG says but I think it would be nicer to simply disallow \ as a valid character or filter out those characters before a search

2) Disable enter on that entry at the same time as you disable the 'Find' button

I don't think we should just ignore characters -- then we get angry users thinking their keyboard has a fault. I also don't think we should just ignore the <enter> when there is invalid text -- then we get bugs about "certain search works being ignored".

Yes hard call, which I guess is your call ;)
