Description Kevin Pearsall 2004-04-05 15:10:53 UTC

I don't really know of a 100% way to reproduce this in the fewest keystrokes possible, but basically:
- go to search for * from player
- enter in characters quickly using number buttons

Sooner or later you will see a -> inserted in your search string...

Comment 1 KDF 2004-04-06 15:33:55 UTC

likely, the numbers come in too fast and the -> char isn't repaced before
another char is entered.  Since its immediately being replaced, we can take it
out by not calling nextChar and doing only the needed steps directly:
Slim/Buttons/SearchFor.pm
175c175,176
< 			nextChar($client);
---
> 			$client->searchCursor($client->searchCursor+1);
> 			$client->update();

There are 536 bugs in the database with targets of '---' that were fixed prior to new year 2006.  I am setting them to targets of 6.2.1 to keep them from showing up in my queries.

Long list of versions is confusing for new bug filers.

Comment 4 Chris Owens 2008-12-18 11:50:36 UTC

Routine bug db maintenance; removing old versions which cause confusion.  I apologize for the inconvenience.
