list view search missing keystrokes

[danzac]

I've been having a problem for the last few updates and thought I better see if anyone else is experiencing it. Basically, when I'm in List view and typing a word into the search, the resulting "real time" search is making Bookends miss keystrokes.

So for instance I type "carlson" in the search bar. The result is carson or crlson, etc. It usually is because I have a VERY slight pause before continuing the typing — the missing letter is usually right after the slight pause in typing. Its gotten to the point that I usually cut and paste the search query now to avoid having to retype all of the time.

thanks,
Danny

Danny, you're using 11.0.4, then. I can't reproduce this on my machines. Another user reported this, though, and it was solved by unchecking 'User WebKit to display pdfs' in the Action menu popup. Try that. If that fixes it, please make sure you are not using the Adobe pdf plugin -- that has unpredictable (and always bad) effects on Bookends. The FAQ (Help menu) discusses this a bit and tells you how to disable it).

11.0.4 is the most recent, right?

Definitely not using the Adobe plugin.

That did the trick though

I've made a tweak in 11.0.5 that may help mitigate this issue when WebKit is being used. Please try again when that's out.
