[Evolution] Bug#586906: evolution: search dialog loses focus

[Olivier Berger]

Package: evolution
Version: 2.30.1.2-3
Severity: normal

There's a search widget on top of the list of messages, which allows to select a header and type a quick-search string

However, when an option in the combo is selected (for instance "Subject contains"), the focus is not passed to the string input widget next to it to be able to type the subject search string :-(

This results in user typing something elsewhere in evolution's interface, which gives unexpected behaviour, like selecting another folder.

This used to work fine in 2.28 and got broken after 2.30 upgrade.

Thanks in advance.

Best regards
