WORKAROUND:
Do not use the "*" in catfish. The wildcard is not needed and the application will work when it is not used. ie: "mousep" will find all items that begin with that.
Thank you for reporting this issue. There should be enough information for the developers to begin work to resolve this issue.
In reproducing this issue, I found the following in the ~/.xsession-error log:
catfish.py:15: DeprecationWarning: the md5 module is deprecated; use hashlib instead
import os, stat, time, md5, optparse, subprocess, fnmatch, re
catfish.py:241: DeprecationWarning: Use the new widget gtk.Tooltip
self.tooltips = gtk.Tooltips()
An easy workarond is to not use the "*" since in catfish this is already assumed.
