1297776 - quick search starts too quickly after a character is entered

Status: RESOLVED DUPLICATE of bug 944942

(Thunderbird :: Untriaged, defect)

Description

[Ben Slade]

User Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/45.0
Build ID: 20160725105554

Steps to reproduce:

When typing into the "Quick Filter" field (using the name "Quick Filter" as defined in https://support.mozilla.org/en-US/kb/quick-filter-toolbar ), there used to be a slight delay so that the search wouldn't start immediately in the situation where a user is typing in a word.

I don't know when the change occurred, but now, when I type a word into the "Quick Filter" field, it starts searching very quickly after character is entered.   

This causes two problems:
1) A search is kicked off before the users is done typing
2) The next few key presses don't echo immediately.

I have some fairly large folders, but I'm only using the quick filter to search on "Sender", "Recipients", & "Subject".   

Various version info for my client:
Version 	45.2.0
User Agent 	Mozilla/5.0 (Windows NT 6.1; WOW64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Thunderbird/45.2.0
Application Build ID 	20160630070546



Actual results:

1) A search is kicked off before the users is done typing
2) The next few key presses don't echo immediately.


Expected results:

There should be a slightly longer delay before the search starts after each key press (like it used to be)

I'm not sure, but I wonder if these other bugs are related:

Bug 1284753 - Quick filter UI is unresponsive after a quick search triggers 

Bug 467128 - Is set to "Search for text when I start typing"; but when I start typing, first several letters do not appear in search box
