XYplorer Beta Club

Folks,

Sometimes when I search, I type my search term(s) into the "Name:" box, press <Enter> and the search starts. Other times, when I type my terms and press <Enter>, nothing happens and I must press the "Find Now" button to start the search.

Does anyone know why? What circumstances cause the <Enter> action to not function?

Can you reproduce with a fresh install?
Anyway, maybe you overlook some of the checkboxes in the Info Panel...

Could you have pressed tab without noticing ? Or a mouse click ?
Next time you could try and see if the "Name:" box has focus when you press enter and it doesn't work (try and find the blinking cursor).

A little more information:

<Enter> works when I simply click the cursor into the "Name:" box, type my search term, and press <Enter>.

<Enter> doesn't work when I leave the cursor in the "Name:" box, switch to a different application, return to XY, and type a different search term without clicking my mouse in the "Name:" box. Then, when I hit <Enter>, nothing happens, even though the cursor is in the "Name:" box and my search term enters normally.

This isn't something I care about enough to issue a bug report, just a quirk I seek to better understand.

Can't reproduce it here, works every time when I press enter even if I switch to another application.
Do you have any shell-extension installed that handles application switching ?
Or maybe a 'snap cursor to button' or some other kind that might affect the focused item in XYplorer ?
It seems extremely weird that you type after returning to XYplorer (which should return the focus to the text box) and still it doesn't work when you press enter.

Can't reproduce it here neither.
