DartEditor search field drops keystroke?

[Rupert Key]

Does anyone else find the DartEditor search area loses keystrokes?  Often my second keystroke is lost.  It might be due to system/disk load causing things to be slow but I'd really expect determinism by buffering here, no?  It's really quite frustrating.

Happy to provide logs if it'd help.

Thanks, Rupert.

Hi Rupert,

Sorry for the frustration.  I'm guessing this is on Linux?  That *was* indeed a known problem.  The good news, is we should have a build out today that addresses the issue.

Stay tuned...  and thanks!

Yup, 32-bit Linux (Ubuntu Precise).

Today eh? Wow, it's like you're mind readers... Hmm or is that the Google Machine Learning magic in action? ;-)

Cheers, R.

Hi, Phil

Following-up on this.  It's much better but it still loses keystrokes sometimes (e.g. first use today, I type "Config" to jump to my "Config.dart" class and see the text "Cfig" -- I'm 100% confident I typed all the keystrokes before you ask ;-) ).

What's the issue ID for this?  (should I reopen or... ?)

Separately, is there a better way to do short-cut "jump to class"?  If not, how do users distribute on use of this feature?  (i.e. are most doing (a) a "search" operation, (b) a jump to class operation or (c) other?)  (assume you guys have analytics on this)

I'm roughly 95% using for (b), 5% for (a) and I don't know of (c) so if they exist -- perhaps I need educating :-D ).

If others tend the same way, could it be switched to default to placing an exactly matching class at the top of the list and default-highlighting that as the default operation?  (like Dart's online doc does)

My 2p, cheers, R.

Please do chime in with whatever details you can to help me track this down.  (Including for sure the build #, OS details, etc.)  This has been a surprisingly pernicious bug!

We don't have any analytics.  We've had some related thoughts about streamlining navigation that are related as well (for example, supporting a simple query language, which would open up a lot of cool possibilities).  Could you open an enhancement request and assign it to me?  We can open it to a wider conversation there.

Thanks!
