Bug in v4: Search list scrolls after double click an item

Post by atangram »

UE v.4.0 32bit

After doing a search in v4.0, the Search Service list is displayed. When double-clicking an item on the Search Service list, the item is displayed in the Import list and opens it in its own tab. After returning back to the Search Service list, the list has scrolled up requiring user to scroll down to return to the entry that was double-clicked upon.

I believe in previous versions, the Search Service list did not scroll when an item is double-clicked. Can this be corrected?

Thanks,

are you sure it is the search results view which jumps?

can you pm me an example? some search string, search settings (all words or boolean wildmat, whether collections are enabled or not for the search view whether you have a filter active) and how the search view is sorted. basically any search should give the same issue then.

search view nothing yet has been changed as far as i remember. or it was shifting within import group, not the search view? (but then also better to give an example)

Hi Alex,

I tried it again today and I am not seeing the behavior at all. When I posted, the problem was consistent and exactly as I wrote, the Search Service listing scrolled a full screen back every time I double clicked a post. The search was for Ken Follett audio books so all I entered was "Ken Follett" and got a list. Then as I was choosing which set, I was reading replies to the posts when the problem appeared. Today it is not appearing.

I will let you know if I see this again. I forgot to mention that I had just upgraded to v4 immediately prior to seeing this problem. Since then, I have closed and restarted the program and it has not reappeared no matter what I try.

Thanks,
Tom

was it in reverse sorting order when scrolled to the end of the list? i see it jumps a bit back, when switching from and then back to the search service view, in other arrangements it holds.

I don't recall how the search went. I frequently change the sort key as I am looking through the topics found. Sometimes I may click Author to group one persons work together (when many subjects begin with part numbers for example.) I will play more with it and see what happens.

it happens when you are towards the end of the list, how it sorted doesn't matter, it just jumped a bit back.

it is not v4.0 specific, when tabs are switched, because of GUI the not shown window size becomes bigger, so windows adjusts the list control, then when you switch back the window becomse smaller again, but the page topmost item is already little higher now.

i've now made it to intercept a relevant window message before the window size changes so from now on it will remember the right page topmost item.

basically the behaviour was from the beginning, you are the first who noticed.

Thanks Alex! It was working as expected on my tests because I was not scrolling down far enough to click open the post. Closer to the bottom of the list demonstrates the problem quite clearly.
