FAYT is not finding the next (sequential) item

[therube]

FAYT (type ahead fast find, or whatever it is called) is not finding the next (sequential) item to be found, necessarily.


Length descending (not sure that is material, but that happens to be what I had - seems not to)

(search results list, alpha sort)

Code: Select all

-1
-2
-3
-4 (1983)
1
2
3 (concat)
4
5
6 1983

FAYT -> concat
do not do anything, wait for timeout
type a different FAYT -> 1983
- with that, FAYT starts from the beginning (i think), rather then from where the 1st FAYT ended
so you go from '3 (concat)', back to '-4 (1983)', rather then forward to '6 1983'


FAYT -> concat
do not do anything, wait for timeout
arrow-key down 1 line
type a different FAYT -> 1983
- with that, FAYT starts from 1 line down from where the 1st FAYT was found, going forward to '6 1983'
(which to me, should be the expected behavior in both instances)


I'll suppose what is happening is that FAYT is finding the expected item, but as nothing happened after the find (except for the timeout), that it is not "knowing" that focus has changed, was "set", so the next FAYT attempt starts from the beginning (or I suppose where focus had last been set), rather then simply continuing on, forward from where the last find was found.

(F3 works properly in this manner, but not a subsequent FAYT.)

Thank you for bringing this issue to my attention therube,

I will trial committing the current find position when the findbar is shown or closed in the next alpha update.

Everything 1.5.0.1384a clears the current findbar position when the findbar is shown or closed.
