Question

When typing in the plugin search box in the plugin browser, the cursor disappears after a second of not typing.  If you are unaware of this and you hit backspace to type a new plugin word, it will default back to the media item window and you'll start deleting media items.  Very strange and counter-intuitive behavior.

Answer 1

Thank you for the feature request. 

If anyone else agrees or disagrees, then please vote it up, or down.

In agreement click on the thumbs up.

In disagreement click on the thumbs down.

The developers pay close attention to those that are voted on the most. 

You are allowed one vote. 

Just viewing and agreeing but not clicking on the vote does not help the issue. 

Please click on one or the other. 

Answer 2

Yes! Definitely agree, this is extremely annoying. I use plugin search box a lot and i struggle with it all the time. I think you can fix it in just a moment but i would be good improvement.

Answer 3

I hate this behavior as well. I have to constantly remind myself to plug-in search through the browser menu for fear of accidentally deleting audio media.

Answer 4

Ya, this didn't use to do this and then with one of the updates it suddenly worked this way. I am constantly muting/deleting all kinds of things!

Answer 5

Absolutely right!!!!

Answer 6

Can't reproduce this

Answer 7

Actually, I believe that what happens is that the search box doesn't wait for you to finish your typing, and then the next key you hit is interpreted as a shortcut. Very annoying.

Answer 8

I am on Mac and I still don't understand why the plugin search field is not automatically selected when I open the plugin drop down?!?!

When comparing to Cubase/Nuendo all windows that have search boxes will automatically activate for straight typing if such a window will be opened.

Answer 9

is this behavior still present?
