Description Philipe Mulet CLA 2004-03-24 05:44:34 EST
Build 20030324

Often, after a search action has completed, when I switch to other perspectives 
or views, and then come back to search view again, my last search results have 
disappeared, and the search history is empty again (cannot search again, have 
to manually redo it from scratch).

In a similar fashion, it often forgets that I preferred horizontal layout for 
rendering results.
Comment 1 Philipe Mulet CLA 2004-03-24 05:45:35 EST
Forgot to mention I am using multiple windows.
Comment 2 Dirk Baeumer CLA 2004-03-24 05:48:52 EST
Thomas, we should investigate for M8.
Comment 3 Thomas M??der CLA 2004-03-24 06:07:09 EST
The history list is the same at this time for all the search views, so if you do
a "clear history" in one view, that will remove the searches from all views. Is
that what's happening?

The layout options are per view, though, different per window. 

How does your setup look? Where do you have search result views open (which
perspectives, which windows)?
Comment 4 Philipe Mulet CLA 2004-03-24 13:05:25 EST
I am wondering whether this is an interaction between old-search and new-search.
I am only using standard perspectives.
Comment 5 Thomas M??der CLA 2004-03-24 13:13:45 EST
Are you using "Occurrences in File"?
Comment 6 Dani Megert CLA 2004-03-24 14:07:18 EST
No so far - but I don't have more than 1 search view. Instead I normally have a
search perspective.
Comment 7 Thomas M??der CLA 2004-04-29 05:22:59 EDT
Philippe, is this still a problem?
Comment 8 Philipe Mulet CLA 2004-04-29 07:45:56 EDT
No, it seems to work fine now.
Comment 9 Thomas M??der CLA 2004-04-29 09:18:28 EDT
Well, I'll close it then.
Comment 10 Philipe Mulet CLA 2004-04-29 09:41:00 EDT
What was the fix ? <g>
Comment 11 Thomas M??der CLA 2004-04-29 09:46:37 EDT
I'll tell you when you tell me what the problem was<g>. I honestly dont' know.
Comment 12 DJ Houghton CLA 2004-05-04 10:27:38 EDT
This is still a problem for me in build i0504-0800.

- in my Resource perspsective I do a search
- switch to my Team perspective
- switch back to the Resource perspective
- search results view is empty

Note that I have only one workbench window but I have the Search view as a
detached view in my Resource perspective.
Comment 13 Thomas M??der CLA 2004-05-04 11:05:25 EDT
Adding the view back into the application window fixes the problem. This,
however should be transparent to me. Moving to Platform-UI, since I can't see
how that would be a search problem. 
I tried the same proceduce with the error log with the same results. Definitely
not a search problem.
Comment 14 DJ Houghton CLA 2004-05-07 21:52:35 EDT
Just to make Thomas's comments clearer, when you dock the detached view, the
search results suddenly re-appear.
Comment 15 Eric Moffatt CLA 2006-06-23 16:08:00 EDT
Cleaning up defect lists by setting ones without recent traffic to 'REMIND'.
Comment 16 Denis Roy CLA 2009-08-30 02:08:39 EDT
As of now 'LATER' and 'REMIND' resolutions are no longer supported.
Please reopen this bug if it is still valid for you.
