** Description changed:

- When in a folder with multiple files, you normally can select a file by
- name by typing the name of the file. A small box appears below the
- nautilus window containing the search text.
+ While in Icon View, the search entry typeahead that appears when you
+ begin typing disappears very quickly, irrespective of the user's typing.
+ It lasts less than a second, not long enough to type more than two
+ characters, and is difficult to bring back up.
  
- In the nautilus currently in 11.10b1, the search box disappears while I
- am typing. It doesn't seem to be a focus issue because nautilus is
- focused the whole time. It varies betweend disappearing almost
- instantly, or after a second, but in either case it is very rapid, too
- rapid to type a full filename.
+ This problem only occurs in Icon View and Compact View.
+ 
+ How to reproduce:
+ 
+ 1. Open nautilus.
+ 2. Enter Icon view in an empty folder
+ 3. Create three folders, LongName1, LongName2, LongName3.
+ 4. Make sure that the focus is on Nautilus.
+ 5. Begin typing LongName3.
+ 
+ What is expected: The helpful search entry will pop up, allowing you to
+ type the name of LongName3, and selecting it for you.
+ 
+ What actually happens: The search entry shows up, highlights LongName1
+ as it is first in the dictionary order, then disappears around the
+ letter 'n', and you are forced to try to retype LongName3.
+ 
+ After reading the source somewhat in Nautilus to better understand the
+ problem, I rewrote this bug and provided what I suppose is a more
+ readable summary.

Title:
  Typeahead search entry not persistent while receiving input in Icon
  View

Status in “nautilus” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  While in Icon View, the search entry typeahead that appears when you
  begin typing disappears very quickly, irrespective of the user's
  typing. It lasts less than a second, not long enough to type more than
  two characters, and is difficult to bring back up.

  How to reproduce:

  1. Open nautilus.
  2. Enter Icon view in an empty folder
