I am not a programmer, but this has a similar behavior to the bug I reported, in that the selected tab makes a big difference.
Sure, I reported the bug as a "second search" as that is how I associated it at the time, but with this added information the bug might be more about the tab selected. I added this to my bug report here: https://bugs.gnucash.org/show_bug.cgi?id=798803 > On 04/07/2023 3:57 AM Tute Terner <tuteter...@gmail.com> wrote: > > > On 2023-04-05 07:18, Tute Terner wrote: > >/When I search in the Find dialog box using the Description field, > >/>/everything works.

So looks like a bug to me. _______________________________________________ gnucash-user mailing list gnucash-user@gnucash.org To update your subscription preferences or to unsubscribe: https://lists.gnucash.org/mailman/listinfo/gnucash-user ----- Please remember to CC this list on all your replies.
