The Search Bar Bug -- Search bar saved searches menu ignores clicks [https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=733487] appears to be occurring because of GWT/SmartGWT event mismatch. It is advised in the SmartGWT document not to mix GWT with SmartGWT.

The proposed solution here is to remove the native GWT widgets from the codebase and re-implement the search bar functionality using pure SmartGWT widgets. This is the only case of native GWT widgets in the codebase so after removal of the search bar the code base would be free of any native GWT widgets and will hopefully have a little cleaner event model.

Here is the specs for the search bar:

Any opinions on this?
