#1226 CTRL-F (Find) Unuseable

[Mark G.]

Windows 8.1
Pwsafe 3.35 (French)

Use of CTRL-F (or menu item) to perform a search makes the search bar appear at the bottom of pwsafe window however there is a GUI interference preventing the user to type in text. This makes 3.35 unuseable for me.

CTRL-F worked fine on 3.34.01 (I reverted back and forth and the behaviors repeated).

Works for me on 3.35 (g8ba0237) English on 64bit Windows 7 Pro SP1.

I have the same problem as original post. ctrl-F cannot enter data for search. Appears focus does not shift to "Find" field at bottom of window. Windows 7 Home Premium 64-bit, English, all current OS patches installed.

Confirmed - XP Eng(no-nls)
Second Ctrl+F does focus field.

[Mark G.]

Agreed; when find box has had focus once, and is not removed (X'ed with the mouse), the desired CTRL-F behavior is repeatable.

I also noticed:
1) once the find bar has had focus once, you can also have the desired behavior by entering CTRL-F immediately after removing the find bar (pressing X with the mouse).
2) if you remove the find bar and then click any entry on the pw list, the undesired CTRL-F behavior returns.

Please try

to check that I've fixed this bug.

[fernando]

Yes, v3.35.1.0(g25de6d0) appears to have corrected the condition.

[Mark G.]

Appears fixed for me too - thanks!

Down loaded from link above. Norton Internet Security removed the file on scanning the download file saying the file contained a threat called Suspicious.Cloud.7.EP. Don't if it is a false positive or for real. Norton deletes the file before I can do anything with it -- like sent it to Norton for analysis. Comments?

[fernando]

maybe you have malware protection too strict. see these results:
VirusTotal
Jotti

[Rony Shapiro]

Thanks to Fernando for saving me the time to run a VirusTotal scan and introducing me to Joti.
This isn't the first and won't be the last time one of my executables get a false positive from some AV.
The easiest "fix" for me to implement is to upload the zip'd binary file:

Thanks for the fix.

Nitpick: The "Find" entry line is now double the height than the one in 3.35. Looks less nice.

Win7 32bit.

The ...bin download solved the problem with the NIS finding a problem. The bin file and the extracted files scan clean.

The fix works on my computers with no issues.

Thanks for you quick help in resolving the problem.

Rony,
The description of this bug sounds similar to bug 1193 for linux version. Obviously I have no idea if this is the same problem but could your change or something similar work as a solution there?
