6 bugs with the new ctrl+f box


Just noticed it today.

Bugs:

  • ctrl+f, search for something, pressing enter should start jumping to the results, but it doesn’t and you have to push the little arrow guis next to it

  • ctrl+f, search for something, then switch to a different script tab, and the ctrl+f box doesn’t respond until you clear the box and start retyping the query

  • ctrl+f, use the box, then click off and try to type/enter new lines in the code. You can’t, because the box steals focus while it’s open, and is annoying to close (tiny x) compared to the old one (just click off)

  • laggy when typing in words because it searches the whole document every keystroke

  • sometimes the orange highlights get stuck even with the ctrl+f box closed

  • it’s also unstable. Tried searching and got my first crash in months with this new thing.

We’ll take a look and see what we can fix. Thanks for the finds!

I might’ve worded a few of them oddly so I’ll clarify them if needed

And if I come across the crash again I’ll try to make repro steps

I’d also like to add that if you’re removing a certain part of the code(comments, print statements, etc), once you hit backspace it will jump to the next occurrence of the search which is really annoying as you could be jumping up or down hundreds of lines in the code and will have to go back to make sure you only erased the right code. The other thing is if you hold in backspace to delete that line it’ll move the cursor to the next occurrence of the search so you might be deleting code from the wrong spot.
