[7.0.7-beta.4] Search in reader says "search term not found" every time

Hi all,
I've noticed some odd behaviour in the latest betas; whenever I type a search term, the search bar displays the text "Term not found", even if there are clearly matches in the document; only after pressing Enter does it start displaying the number of results.

Do you mean the only way to trigger the search is by pressing Enter after typing, or is there a pattern where typing sometimes triggers the search automatically and other times it doesn't?

Is that the same with all PDF files?

I checked again and indeed it doesn't occur in all PDF files, but in this one I can reproduce it somewhat reliably when opening it from the library after startup. I'll try and see whether there is a pattern to it. When typing "schools" the search starts (and occurrences are highlighted). Only after pressing enter is the number of matches displayed, though.

Could you send the PDF file to support@zotero.org with a link to this thread?

@samvimes: This should be fixed now in 7.0.8.

@dstillman
I am on Zotero 7.0.8 on Ubuntu and the text search seems to never end.

@saltiniroberto

1. How often does it happen?
2. Does it happen with all PDF files?
3. Is there a consistent way to reproduce it?
