[SOLVED !] "Quick search" dialog behaves erratically & sluggishly, search grid displays with an embedded window, etc.

Submitted by Armando on 2009/08/28 23:40
1st case -
 
If focus is on the HTML pane, When I press ctrl-shift-f (my own whrtcut key to bring up the quick search dialog from the HTML pane), the dialog appears but the focus is elsewhere.
 
 
2nd case -
 
a- Set it on auto close
b- Write something in the text box
c- Select a few items (more than one) press enter :
 
dialog disappears sluggishly, reappears, stays there for a while and re-disappears.  But then, if I press ctrl-f again, it doesn't appear -- a bit like if it was still active in the background. IQ memory footprint is also much higher than usual (like 270mb...) , and CPU use too (100%).

Background Colors in Grids Don't Requires Close/Open

Submitted by CodeTRUCKER on 2009/08/28 23:22
Tools >> Options >> Grids
 
Changing the Background Colors does not change when you press "OK."  The Grid has to be Closed/Reopened.
 
Note:  If a new grid is opened, the new colors are applied, but grids that were open at the time of the color change still do not change, unless Closed/Reopened.

Many items MHT content (ItemIDxxxx.MHT files links) are not searchable/findable through the Find dialogs

Submitted by Armando on 2009/08/28 19:50
Another important matter...
 
I've got more than 300 items, and probably even more (I'm discovering new ones all the time) which MHT content I cannot search, find, etc.
 
I've noticed that most of these [DON'T] have content in the itemHTMLtext  (sometimes there's no text in there but IQ seems to believe there is some, as filters like "itemHTMLtext is not null" will even show emptyish itemHTMLtext fields... anyhow).
 
That makes one very important aspect of the DB pretty unreliable : searching and finding data...
 
You could try that experiment. Write in the filter text box of the search grid (no source):
itemHTMLFile and itemhtmlText is null
and see how many items appear.

"Paste each line into a separate item, creating items if necessary" doesn't seem to work.

When pasting several lines (carriage return between each) in a grid, IQ offers 3 options. One is : "Paste each line into a separate item, creating items if necessary"
 
It doesn't seem to work anymore -- which is a pain since I started working on a new project where pasting one line at a time can get quite tedious.
[Edit : as a work around, possible to create items before pasting].
 
I tried pasting different excerpts containing several lines... But only the first line gets pasted... Seems like a bug. But maybe am I doing something wrong ? Anybody else can confirm if this is problem with IQ or... with me ?

HTML pane : loss/interchange of content in 2 different case (IMPORTANT)

Submitted by Armando on 2009/08/27 12:37
Oh no... HTML pane problems... :(
 
2 different things happened in the last few days. And they seem to be linked...
 
 
1- Several clips from the web (MHT) weren't clipped properly (I was using the firefox clipper). What happens is that the title (item content) is in the database, but nothing in the HTML pane.
 
digging further I saw that the clip was there, as MHT, in the IQ SNDB folder for MHT files. BUT the itemHTMLFile link is missing
 
 
Most of the time when I clip an article, if IQ pops up in my face -- as it always does when I clip to the database -- I alt-tab my way back immediately to firefox. Maybe does that sometimes disrupts the linking process???

Troubleshooting Firefox - Please post FF version you are using

Submitted by CodeTRUCKER on 2009/08/26 12:55
Hi,
 
I intend to try and troubleshoot the odd behaviors of FF outside of the IQ Forum.  I will be looking of the FF forums for similar behavior.
 
Everyone please post what version of FF you are using and a brief note of any errant behavior.  I will assume that everything is just peachy if you only post your version.    
 
@KeithB - Are you still having this issue?
 
As for my entry...
 
Firefox 3.5.2 - No "Comments" text box on page load when posting or replying.

Text pastes in wrong cell after moving columns in grid

Submitted by Tom on 2009/08/26 04:35
 
Move column B to the left of column A - (now showing as | B | A | ) - select cell in Column A, paste some text -  the text is pasted in the cell to the left of the selected cell (even if the field is a number field).
Likewise,
moving a column to the right of another column - the pasted text then goes to the right.
Auto-Edit & Overstrike both off
Restart solves the problem
 
I just tested this with clean (portable) install and sample (empty) database, will add to Mantis later [done]
