Aleksandar Kovač Posted August 21, 2019 Share Posted August 21, 2019 I cannot tell exactly how or when, but Search input vanishes from Help menu in Affinity Publisher 1.7.2: After restarting Publisher it is back there... Another fishy/indicative detail to notice is that the question mark for help shortcut is using different font when search input is gone. Or this... search input is here, but shortcut is not in the menu... It might matter or not but I have noticed it vanishing when working with a document that uses table of contents. I cannot claim that there is a clear corellation. Publisher was reset fully a couple of days ago. Anyone else experiencing the same?

Staff Gabe Posted September 17, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 17, 2019 Hi @Aleksandar Kovač, Sorry for the delayed reply. Is your Mac language/region different from the App language? Thanks, Gabe. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar Kovač Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 My preferred language is set to English, region (measurement units, currency...) Croatia. Quote Alex Mac Mini M1, mac OS Sonoma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted September 18, 2019 Staff Share Posted September 18, 2019 I still cannot replicate it. When it happens, can you see the search bar in other apps? Safari for example Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar Kovač Posted September 18, 2019 Author Share Posted September 18, 2019 OK. Thank you for dedication. I must admit I have not noticed/paid attention to this lately. I will try to catch it and report here. Quote Alex Mac Mini M1, mac OS Sonoma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar Kovač Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Another case of missing search input box. This time in Affinity Designer. Shall I make a another thread in Designer forum? Quote Alex Mac Mini M1, mac OS Sonoma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted November 8, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 8, 2019 Have you checked if the search bar is also missing from other apps? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar Kovač Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 Yes. At this instance, only Designer (v1.7.3) was missing the box. Restarted it, opened the same file, and the box was back. (apps opened at the time & checked: Finder, Firefox, Affinity Photo, MacDown) Quote Alex Mac Mini M1, mac OS Sonoma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
garrettm30 Posted November 8, 2019 Share Posted November 8, 2019 I saw it just a couple days ago in Publisher beta 1.8.0.499. I thought to report it, but when I restarted Publisher, the search box was back. Thus far I can't figure out what steps to get it in this state. I have the vague idea it is related to changing to or from full screen mode, but I can't replicate it when I try to play with it. My theory is that the search bar is cut off on display because of an incomplete change in the state of full screen mode. I have seen issues with the hidden menu not appearing as it should with the full screen mode of other apps as well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Staff Gabe Posted November 8, 2019 Staff Share Posted November 8, 2019 Is the search bar there when you open the app? Or does it disappear while using the app? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar Kovač Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 @garrettm30 Here, fullscreen mode was in the game, too! Similarly, I cannot figure out a repeatable pattern. @Gabe Search bar disappears while using the app. Quote Alex Mac Mini M1, mac OS Sonoma Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It appears you were not in fullscreen mode at the time you made the screenshot. Maybe you had just come out? Also, do you use the monochrome icons? I ask because it appears the various controls are grayed out. Even the window controls (close window, minimize, fullscreen) are grayed out. Do you remember having some kind of modal window open at the time? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aleksandar Kovač Posted November 8, 2019 Author Share Posted November 8, 2019 1. Yes, just out of fullscreen for the screenshot. Not sure whether input box was missing during fullscreen (it is possible). On the other hand, I am sure that the input box was there before in the session and that it went missing during the session, and that window was fullscreen and windowed at various times during that session. 2. I use monochrome icons (set in Designer prefs) and Graphite appearance (set in system prefs/General). This is why, when window is selected, window controls appear grayed out.

Aleksandar Kovač Posted March 24, 2020 Author Share Posted March 24, 2020 More missing help search occurences. This time, no fullscreen was involved. Apps (1.8.2) have just been reset by starting with CTRL. I was in the process of adding new shortcuts, searching for a menu entry and noticed help search is missing in 2 out of 3 apps. Designer behaved, Publisher and Photo did not. Restarting apps gets them back, no problem there, but the phenomena could be an indicator of a deeper problem.
