463287 - Search field in ctrl-tab panel is resized during focus/blur

Status: VERIFIED DUPLICATE of bug 473153

(Core :: Widget: Win32, defect)

Setting the focus to the search field inside the ctrl-tab panel changes its size. Probably related to the empty text attribute?

Steps:
1. Open at least 3 tabs
2. Hit ctrl+tab to open the panel
3. Hit ctrl-f or click inside the search box

With step 3 the search box shrinks. Looks like a Windows only issue.

Do you see the same with other search fields using emptytext?
Can you attach a screenshot of both states?

Attachment: Search field (focussed/unfocussed)

No, it's only visible in ctrl-tab. Other instances don't show this resizing.

What happens if you use the classic OS theme?

Good hint. I switched to classic mode and it doesn't happen there. Looks like an Aero issue.

Would be nice to re-use existing bugs as filing new ones and duping older bugs with more information to the newly one. Verifying for now.

I would have done this if I'd have remembered this bug.

This bug doesn't add much relevant information; the other one is more generic and has a testcase, hence the duping this way.
