I tried it with German and English locale. Both times the combobox will
be focused (it only popsdown if you press enter aferwards)

hmm, I use the same icons as in previous versions. Is it possible that
this has something today with compiz?

I think it would be a too big UI change. But it should definitely be in
2.22.

Hi again,

I see that you where quick to integrate my last navigation suggestions, kudos for that :-) Here's a new list of gotchas:


 * Selecting history match does not close window

 * Searching is slow to update the UI - in 2.18 internet search engine matches was instantaneous and UI seemed to update smoothly, on my installation the UI is cleared for up to half a sec before matches appear

 * Keyboard navigation skips category headers making it impossible to collapse them via the keyboard

 * New "wrap-around-navigation" doesn't work if the last category header is collapsed - ie the last entry in the hit list is a cat.  Both navigation from top and bottom hits are broken in this case.

Cheers,
Mikkel
