Search is not updated after entering a new value

Report ID: none, as the problem was not logged

After entering a new string in the search function of the PDF Viewer, the old value is used.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Start Zotero and open any PDF
2. In the PDF Viewer, use the search functionality by entering a search string. Leave the search form open while doing the next steps.
3. Do some unknown steps in between. Maybe switch between different software?
4. Come back to Zotero and enter a new search string. Maybe differentiate between a mouse click into the form and using CTRL+F?
5. Observe that the old search value is searched for and not the new one.
6. Re-update the search form by e.g. entering an addional letter
7. The search works again!

I recorded a short screencast and am trying to share its link:

I had first searched for the author Ebadi and then for the author Tambunan. When I realized that the software was still searching for Ebadi, I started the screencast. When the recording was started, the software should have searched for Tambunan and not Ebadi.

  • So far, I can’t reproduce that. If you could provide the exact steps to reproduce it, it would help a lot.
