Bug Description

in the xfce4-settings-manager, the "session and startup"-tool has search field in the top rigth corner. It does not work. Nothing can be entered there. It is greyed out. When I checked the other tools, I found the same in:
Appearance
Preferred Applications
Desktop
Notifications
Panel
Display
Keyboard
Mouse and Touchpad
Power Manager
Accessibility
That is: all tools that have a button "←All Settings"

The search field is supposed to be inactive. Those mentioned settings dialogs are only embedded into the settings manager and do not provide a search function.

So what is the function of that search field?
Why is it not removed, or hidden?

It was designed this way. I therefore suggest that you file a bug report on the upstream bug tracker [1] and explain why the visibility of the search field needs to be changed for embedded settings windows.

So, this is not an actual bug. Therefore, no fixing is needed.
