Stop button is enabled, Search button is greyed-out.\r\n2. Type a new search term in the editbox. \"Search\" button is disabled. 3. What is the expected output? What do you see instead? What I expect to see: After you type a new search term, the \"Search\" button becomes enabled, then you press Search, then the search is executed and results appear. If it was in the middle of a Search, I would also expect the Stop button to cancel the existing search and re-enable the Search button. In fact, there is no ongoing search so it is unexpected that the Stop button is enabled.\r\n\r\nWhat I see instead: Search button is greyed-out, Stop button is enabled. None of the following actions make any difference including:\r\npressing Stop button, closing and reopening the Find-in-Files widget, closing and re-opening Spyder, selecting old search terms from the pulldown.\r\n\r\nRe-booting my computer fixes the problem for a while. What version of the product are you using? On what operating system? Spyder 2.0.1 distributed with Python(x,y) 2.6.5.5\r\nWin7 64-bit \n\nPlease provide any additional information below\n\n. There are several Python files open in the editor during all of this.\n\n_Original issue: http://code.google.com/p/spyderlib/issues/detail?id=711_"},"comment":{"url":"https://api.github.com/repos/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/comments/74598062","html_url":"https://github.com/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/711#issuecomment-74598062","issue_url":"https://api.github.com/repos/spyder-ide/spyder/issues/711","id":74598062,"user":{"login":"spyder-issues-migrator","id":11021581,"avatar_url":"https://avatars.githubusercontent.com/u/11021581?v=3","gravatar_id":"","url":"https://api.github.com/users/spyder-issues-migrator","html_url":"https://github.com/spyder-issues-migrator","followers_url":"https://api.github.com/users/spyder-issues-migrator/followers","following_url":"https://api.github.com/users/spyder-issues-migrator/following{/other_user}","gists_url":"https://api.github.com/users/spyder-issues-migrator/gists{/gist_id}","starred_url":"https://api.github.com/users/spyder-issues-migrator/starred{/owner}{/repo}","subscriptions_url":"https://api.github.com/users/spyder-issues-migrator/subscriptions","organizations_url":"https://api.github.com/users/spyder-issues-migrator/orgs","repos_url":"https://api.github.com/users/spyder-issues-migrator/repos","events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/spyder-issues-migrator/events{/privacy}","received_events_url":"https://api.github.com/users/spyder-issues-migrator/received_events","type":"User","site_admin":false},"created_at":"2015-02-17T00:41:14Z","updated_at":"2015-02-17T00:41:14Z","body":"_From [holzma...@gmail.com](https://code.google.com/u/117038174657625698320/) on 2011-12-17T02:57:20Z_\n\nI have the same problem and the internal console indeed shows a traceback (spyder 2.1.2 on ubuntu linux):\r\n\r\nPython 2.7.2+ (default, Oct  4 2011, 20:03:08) \r\n[GCC 4.6.1] on linux2\r\nType \"copyright\", \"credits\" or \"license\" for more information.\r\n\r\n\\>>> Traceback (most recent call last):\r\n  File \"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/spyderlib/widgets/findinfiles.py\", line 167, in run\r\n    ok = self.find_files_in_path(self.rootpath)\r\n  File \"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/spyderlib/widgets/findinfiles.py\", line 229, in find_files_in_path\r\n    for path, dirs, files in os.walk(path):\r\n  File \"/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py\", line 294, in walk\r\n    for x in walk(new_path, topdown, onerror, followlinks):\r\n  File \"/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py\", line 294, in walk\r\n    for x in walk(new_path, topdown, onerror, followlinks):\r\n  File \"/usr/lib/python2.7/os.py\", line 284, in walk\r\n    if isdir(join(top, name)):\r\n  File \"/usr/lib/python2.7/posixpath.py\", line 71, in join\r\n    path += '/' + b\r\nUnicodeDecodeError: 'ascii' codec can't decode byte 0xfc in position 18: ordinal not in range(128)"}}
