Alias dialogue box strange behaviour

Post by JohnM »

Hi All,

I have found the "Aliases" dialogue box exhibits strange behaviour if no aliases have been defined (unlike other Tools->List Management dialogue boxes).

To illustrate what I mean:
1. Start with no aliases defined.
2. Click Tools->List Management->Aliases...

3. In the "List Management" dialogue click the "Editor Mode" icon at the bottom left or press <F6>. This changes the box to free editing and removes the buttons ("New", "Edit", etc) on the right and removes filter box at the bottom.

4. Click the "Editor Mode icon again (or press <F6>). The filter box reappears but the rest of the dialogue box is not restored.

Edit: other Tools->List Management dialogue boxes exhibit the same behaviour. Thanks highend!

Cheers

Other entries in list management that have no entries behave the same...
