I just pushed the bugfix version 1.9.0.1
It should get rid of both of these bugs, at least it did in local testing.
The problem for the search was indeed overeager optimization by the compiler, caused by changes I made quite a while back, which I never realized were overly agresive because I dont use the "release" build. I liked them because they shaved .5 MB of the app size. That will teach me to just flip on "optimizing" settings in my build chain
