[Bug 1535461] [NEW] [15.10 REGRESSION] Find has become sensitive to differences in accents

 

Public bug reported:

Steps to reproduce:
- write (or paste, or load) a text containing the string "maría"
- hit Ctrl+F
- in the search box, type "maria"

Expected: should find the string "maría" in the text, because í and i
only differ by an accent. This is the way it used to work, and it is the
way every decent editor works

Observed: doesn't find the matching string unless you type it exactly
with the same accents.


I already reported this upstream at https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=760810
However, they'll probably tell me that I'm using a too old version.

- Please check whether it is already fixed in a later version upstream
- if so, release the fixed version in Ubuntu
- if not, either patch it or immediately roll back to the version without the issue. This makes ctrl+F unusable.
