Description Jörg Thönnes CLA 2010-07-05 05:20:10 EDT
h1. Steps to Reproduce

* Put some characters into the search field of the Task List view
* Click on "Search Repository for key or summary..."
** Expected Result: Task Search dialog opens with the given key in the summary
** Actual Result: Task Search dialog opens but the content is visible for about 1 second and then blanked out

Using the "Search" view and the "Refine Search..." pop-up menu entry gives the same result.

h1. Woraround

Switching  to another search tab and back refreshes the view.

Thanks for the bug report. I was able to reproduce this but it does not seem to happen all the time. We'll need to investigate further.

For me it happens _all the time_ -- in what cases you cannot reproduce it?
Comment 3 Jörg Thönnes CLA 2010-07-23 03:43:31 EDT
Steffen, I found that this is not only an issue with task search. Even if I call "File search" this happens.
I am currently using Kubuntu 8.04 Hardy Heron, but my colleague reports that this also happens with Kubuntu 10.04.

Therefore, I would escalate this to the Eclipse core: Could you move it on to e.g. Platform / Search?
I am not allowed to do so.

Please provide the steps.

Anything above "Scope" is empty.

Already provided the steps in the description.

Here is another example independent of Mylyn:

Menu: Search / File... (see attached screen shot)

Workaround: Switch to another tab and back.

Well, the Eclipse SDK does not contain Mylyn and hence void your steps. Can you reproduce with this build:
http://download.eclipse.org/eclipse/downloads/drops/R-3.6-201006080911/index.php
If so, with what steps?

Will do so as time allows.

Before I was using Kubuntu Hardy 8.04, now I am using Ubuntu (GNOME) 10.04. Only change noticed:
 - With Kubuntu 8.04 the content was shortly displayed, then disappeared.
 - With Ubuntu 10.04 the content never shows up.

OK, thanks.

This looks similar to bug 321121 (same user & setup).

But the empty search area also happened with Kubuntu 8.04 before the upgrade.
At this time, I had two separate desktops (X11 displays) instead of a common desktop spanning over two displays.

Do you think this is also related to dual-monitor setups?
Comment 12 Ulli Hafner CLA 2010-08-10 10:31:20 EDT
This happens on my machine, too (Ubuntu 10.04). I also have Mylyn and several other tools that provide an additional search pages. 

It's somewhat difficult to reproduce. Sometimes I always get that error, sometimes the error does not show up at all. Maybe some concurrency problem (does mylyn connect to servers in a background thread even if not focused?).

This is not related to Mylyn, but is a general "feature" of the "Search" dialog. Please try it with other searches, e.g. using
menu "Search / File...". In this case, at least the lower part is visible.

I really do wonder why nobody at Eclipse core team takes care.
Comment 14 Alexander Kurtakov CLA 2013-12-20 05:09:41 EST
Is this still reproducible with Kepler (4.3)?
Comment 15 Alexander Kurtakov CLA 2014-02-13 08:57:21 EST
More than a month without reply from submitter and I can't reproduce. Closing.

Please reopen if you still experience the issue with supported Eclipse version.
