Description MZMcBride 2009-12-01 16:49:34 UTC 
When there is a text input next to "start a new discussion," it's reasonable for users to assume that the text input will be used as a section header or something similar. (This is the behavior for InputBox used on WMF wikis.) Users do not expect the text input to be for searching.

The "start a new discussion" link should probably be a proper <input /> button. And the search input should probably be on its own line (put the "start a new discussion" link/button directly next to sort order).
Comment 1 Nemo 2010-08-16 03:44:51 UTC 
Compare bug 24809 (an actual bug).
Comment 2 Andrew Garrett 2010-08-28 13:30:55 UTC 
Should be resolved in redesign, see http://www.mediawiki.org/wiki/LiquidThreads/Redesign
Comment 3 Brandon Harris 2010-09-10 01:36:22 UTC 
I would like to close this bug as it's unlikely to be addressed in the current version.
Comment 4 Bawolff (Brian Wolff) 2011-05-07 19:42:54 UTC 
I'm marking this as a duplicate of bug 22678 (I'm duping it to the newer bug since it looks like that one has slightly more comments, but really neither has that many comments)
