           Summary: Marble search auto-jumps to the first prefix match
           Product: marble
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Debian testing
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: marble-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: nuorama at gmail.com


Version:            (using KDE 4.3.2)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Debian testing/unstable Packages

When entering a name in the search field, Marble will simply jump to the first
match instead of waiting for me to press enter, or at least delaying the jump.

This is confusing, because if you are looking over some part of the world, and
then search for a city in that area, the map will jump away, thus leaving you
in front of an unexpected zone. This is worse if the searched place is not even
listed.

Example: 
-Navigate to  26° 21' 32.1"E,  47° 11' 14.0"N
-Start searching for "Siret"
-Notice that when you type 'S' the map already jumps to   3° 42'E,  36° 37'
47.5"N (Saabat) which is some place in Algeria, way far from NE of Romania.
Now, you've completely lost the area you where searching for, and got the first
match for the prefix.
