Bug Description

Binary package hint: synaptic

Hello,
i use Intrepid (8.10).
There is a new feature : quick search.
But it's bugged : when I use it, it eats CPU.
24557 root 20 0 52992 38m 21m R 97.2 8.2 0:15.20 synaptic

And synaptic froze. I tried to quit it but it takes a long time before kill the process.

synaptic : 0.62.1ubuntu8

Thank you for your bug report. I have messed around with the synaptic on my i386 Dell Inspiron 6000 with 8.10 using the quick search. My CPU hasn't climbed above 2%. Thus I cannot confirm your issue. What will help the devs/triagers is more information on what you were doing as the problem happened (i.e were there any other program open..) as well as a few more system specs (amount of RAM, etc...). Make sure your Ubuntu is up-to-date as well.

This bug was fixed in the package synaptic - 0.62.1ubuntu9

---------------
synaptic (0.62.1ubuntu9) intrepid; urgency=low

  * gtk/rgmainwindow.cc:
    - only xapian search when more than one char is used
      in the search querry (LP: #260739)
  * common/rpackagelister.{cc,h}:
    - expand partial strings in search as you type so that
      "ged" finds "gedit" (LP: #261423)
  * 10_ubuntu_maintenance_gui.dpatch:
    - make sure to look only for immutable release files
      when calculating the support time
