Description Ian Whitfield 2017-04-22 11:29:41 UTC

Can not get this to work. Results have no relationship to what is entered.
I am selecting a field by clicking in it and then entering a value into the Find box. Maybe this is not the right way to use this - if so we need better instructions or a Pop-Up Box to explain procedure.

Thanks!
Just tested it and works but there's frustrating display issue that can make us think it does not work. In a form Kexi does not focus actual input box and does not put the cursor within the text to visualize the found content. (eventually it should even highlight the current occurrence, e.g. there are 4 occurences of "a" in "aaaa"). 

Kexi moves to right record though.

Changing the bug summary accordingly.

The same issue applies to searching in general in forms, whenever focus needs to be moved between input boxes or records.
