Description Vadim 2006-06-16 16:15:00 UTC 
deskbar-applet 2.14.1.1

If I type a few letters in English, then switch to Russian, I get "A programming error has been detected":

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/deskbar/DeskbarApplet.py", line 172, in on_keyboard_shortcut
    match = modctx.module.on_key_press(qstring, shortcut)
  File "/usr/lib/deskbar-applet/handlers/epiphany.py", line 101, in on_key_press
    return on_entry_key_press(query, shortcut, shortcuts_to_smart_bookmarks_map)
  File "/usr/lib/python2.4/site-packages/deskbar/BrowserMatch.py", line 120, in on_entry_key_press
    key = chr(shortcut)
ValueError: chr() arg not in range(256)

If I do the same in ubuntu Dapper, it clears my input in English and switches to russian. At least no error in Dapper.

Maybe Dapper has a patch ?
Comment 2 Vadim 2006-07-12 05:57:51 UTC 
Ok, as of gnome-2.14.2 / deskbar-applet-2.14.2, the bug has disappeared. Now it behaves like the Dapper version - changing language clears the input field. No Python exception anymore.
