dart editor find box holds focus

[DartBot]

I choose "Open Declaration", which put the caret in the Find box, but after this it is impossible to click back in the editor window and resume typing because the focus stays in the find box. The only way seems to be to restart the editor.

Well that's not good!

A few questions...

* Is there anything in your .log file? (You can find it in the workspace/.metadata directory in your editor install dir. Alternatively you can send a feedback report and select the "Send additional data" button. If the error was recent, we should get traces in the report.)

* What OS are you using?

* Is this reproducible?

Thanks for the report!

Yes, I have just reproduced it again. Seems to take just typing a bunch of random junk quickly in the text box for it to happen.
This was on linux.
I checked my .log file, and there's nothing there.

Cool. Thanks for the follow-up. I'll see if I can repro and get cracking on a fix.

This got re-reported here: http://code.google.com/p/dart/issues/detail?id=749.

Fix: http://codereview.chromium.org/8893018/ is in flight.

Actually, this bug has come back and I'm hitting quite frequently again, so I'm reactivating this.

OK, bummer. I'll try and repro today. Thanks for re-opening!

I'm not having luck reproducing this... Any hints would be greatly appreciated! (BTW: I'm using gnome on ubuntu.)

I don't remember exactly what I was doing before I got into this state, and it isn't happening nearly as much as before, but it definitely was happening, to the point where I would need to restart the editor approximately every half hour.
Perhaps it be good to add some instrumentation that can detect this state? (For example, when an editor tab is selected, could you add some code that confirms that the focus isn't in the search box anymore, and the caret is blinking in the editor pane.) Then at least we'll get a stack trace when it gets itself into this state.

I like where you're going with this... I'll look a little more and think about some instrumentation as you suggest. Moreover, I could add some corrective code to unwedge the searchbox when the state is detected. Not a long term solution but might be a good temporary (and expedient) measure.

As for the inconvenience, I'm truly sorry about that. Sucks. And you can blame me :(. I'm good for a beer (if not a fix ;)).

Not a problem. It is still quite usable. No worries.

Added OpSys-Linux label.

Is this still an issue? I added some extra error-handling that, fingers crossed, I hope mitigates the issue. Let me know if it's still cropping up!

Please re-open if this crops up again and there is a way to reproduce the problem.
