Searching action list troubles?

Roy Triggs

When searching the action list for my places, I type in what I am looking for in the field. Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't so well? Seems if you pause at all during the typing is does not return correctly? Anybody else experience this? Or, am I just doing something wrong?

Hi Roy Triggs

Pretty sure this is normal "type-to-search" combobox behavior rather than something you're doing wrong. Those dropdown search fields usually build up what you've typed as long as you keep typing without a real pause — pause too long and it resets and starts matching fresh from whatever's currently selected, so the next letter you type looks like it's searching from scratch instead of continuing your string.

Easiest fix: if it seems stuck, clear the field completely (select all, delete) and retype the whole thing in one go rather than continuing mid-search. Typing a bit faster also tends to help.

Worth flagging to Bluebeam directly too though ideally that field should just do a live filter on whatever's typed regardless of pauses, especially with a big Places list where this'll only get more annoying.

Thank you
