Search focus problem

Submitted by Tom on 2017/06/02 06:42
'Find' tab (binoculars) and any other grid/s are open.
Other grid has focus
 
Use Ctrl+F to start a new search:
there is no visible changes - focus remains on the other grid --
surely it should jump to the Find tab ?
 
(If I click on the Find tab I can see the  search result.)

sorting on column added to grid doesn't work until grid is refreshed

Submitted by jimspoon on 2017/05/30 18:32
 I added a column "micro sd" to a grid.  The new column appeared to the right of the previous right-most column, "usb flash drives".
 
I right-clicked on the column header for the new "micro sd" column, and clicked "sort items ascending".
 
Instead of sorting the items in ascending order of the values in the "micro sd" column, the items were sorted in the ascending order of the values in the "usb flash drives" column.
 
The above process for sorting the items on the values in the "micro sd" column did not work until after I refreshed the grid.
 
 

Limiting a Search?

Submitted by Tom on 2017/05/30 09:48
Wondering how to limit a search --
a good example is:
 
ai is a common abbreviation for Adobe illustrator -- one that I also use.
Searching (Ctrl+F) for ai, I get items with words like awaiting, Craig
(NOTE: I also get some results where I cannot see any instance of ai within the text)
 
Adding a space before and after 'ai' didnt change anything
 
Is there any way I can search for 'ai' as a word?
(or is this a feature request?)

Disappearing Cursor - Help!

Submitted by David_H on 2017/05/29 15:51
I'm looking for input from other users and hope Pierre does not respond until off vacation.  A month or so ago there were some discussions where a few of us were experiencing the disappearing cursor issue again, where when clicking to edit a grid item the cursor is invisible, and you can't tell where it is until you start to type.  I can't find that thread though I did find the threads at the bottom here where it had been discussed in the past, for a very long time I'd had no issues and thought an update addressed it.
 
It's now happening to me on both PC's I run IQ on, one running Win 7 and one Win 10.  Is anyone else still experiencing this?
