Hi, Using gitk (1.6.0.4) within a given subdirectory of a working tree, I wanted to see those commits that affected files in the current directory so I selected touching paths" and then typed "." into the entry field (That's right isn't it?) On pressing the Next button, not only was a relevant commit successfully found and highlighted (commit message boldened) but all of the "." characters in the commit message list were given a yellow background (as if I was searching the text for "."). Surely the yellow text highlighting shouldn't happen when finding paths? A quick look at the gitk code left me no wiser hence this email.
