Scrolling over the "Filter Properties" TextBox in the Properties window will add a space to the said TextBox

[ProgrammerOnCoffee]

When scrolling over the “Filter Properties” TextBox in Studio, the said TextBox will be activated, and a space will be added to it.
This filters out most, if not all, of the selected instance’s properties.

A similar issue was reported a few years ago here, but it doesn’t appear to ever have been fixed.

2. Open a new baseplate project.
3. Select any instance in the DataModel.
4. Navigate to the properties window and hover over the “Filter Properties” TextBox.
5. Use your mouse’s scroll wheel to scroll up or down.

• The TextBox will be activated, and a space will be added to it.

Hi @ProgrammerOnCoffee,

I believe this is due to the history-tracking behavior of the search bar. If you click the arrow to the right of “Filter Properties”, it should show you what your search history is. This history maxes out at 10 items, after which older searches are forgotten.

My guess is that your history includes a space as one of the items:

As a workaround, you can search for 10 other (useful) terms to get the space out of your search history. I don’t believe we have an official way to remove history - feel free to make a feature request if that would be useful to you.
