[Bug 1300308] Re: "select items matching" (ctrl+s) only selects one file in list view (due to interactive_search ubuntu change)

 

@teo1978, other filemanagers are available in the archive, should be
easy enough to install one

@julo, that's wishful thinking and oversimplification, you can't bounce
users between different applications every time they upgrade, and you
can't "just follow upstream" for pieces which are part of the desktop
because users associate the frustration of changes they don't like to
the distribution. That way to look at things work for applications users
decide to install, not for things that come with the system

Title:
  "select items matching" (ctrl+s) only selects one file in list view
  (due to interactive_search ubuntu change)

Status in Nautilus:
  New
Status in nautilus package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  steps to reproduce:
  1. open folder in files/nautilus which contains multiple files and/or folders
  2. type ctrl+s to bring up the "select items matching" dialog
  3. type glob pattern into text entry field which should match multiple files
  4. choose OK

  observed behavior:
   - only the first matching file is selected

  expected benavior:
   - all matching files should be selected

  This bug makes the "select items matching" feature completely
  nonfunctional, and is a regression from earlier versions of nautilus /
  files.
