Subject:	[geda-user] blank search field in PCB Library dialog causes CPU grab
Reply-To:	geda-user AT delorie DOT com

Hello, this is my first post so I hope it's fairly appropriate.

Using pcb version 20110918 on Ubuntu 12.04, I notice that when I go to 
view pcb footprint libraries, clearing the search field causes the 
application to freeze and hog the CPU. I suspect the blank field causes 
a routine to go looking for a single space or a null or something, not 
sure. In any case I have to kill the runaway process from the terminal.

I'm happy to help fix this, more as a tester than a coder at this stage.

Regards,
Matt
