Saved Search box won't reduce

Karellen · 03-12-2022, 04:10 AM

Hi,

I seem to be having a minor issue with the Saved Search box.

In image 1, the box is set to its minimum width when first opened. It cannot be narrowed any further. (It would be nice if we can make this a bit narrower.)

But when you double click on one of the saved searches to edit it, the box expands to the right even more as shown in image 2, and it can't be reduced. It has now defaulted to a new and larger minimum width. It takes up a good portion of the screen.

Is there any chance for a fix to allow reducing the width of the box again.

Thank you

And when you close the box, the file browser does not reset to its previous width; the user has to reset it manually again.

I have a wider Preview and I dock Saved Searches as a tab alongside it.

I have also noticed that if you edit a regex Search rule in saved searches, it does not work. You need to close the book, reopen it then the edited regex works.

I cannot reproduce this. Steps I tried:

1) Create a saved search rule in regex mode with the find text "and"
2) Click find, the word and is found
3) double click to edit it, change the word to the
4) click find, the word the is found

Thank you @kovidgoyal

I'll test it next release. I assume that is for the sizing, not the regex.

Let me test the regex issue a bit more. It seems simple regex work fine, but there is a more detailed one that I use that keeps failing after updating it.

I use it to find sentences that are full uppercase. Usually the first line of a chapter or new scene.

PHP Code:


			
</span>\b[A-Z&#8217;]+(?:\s+[A-Z]+)*\b

If I try adding some punctuation, say a comma, period or semi-colon, then it fails and I need to close and reopen the book.

PHP Code:


			
</span>\b[A-Z&#8217;]+(?:\s+[A-Z\.]+)*\b

The Replace portion is regex-function Title-case text (ignore tags)

Does the find fail or the replace?

The Find fails

I definitely cannot replicate that.

Ok, thanks for trying.
If I find any additional info that might help, I will post back.
