Saved Search Bug?
Completed
I am using v.1.0.0(77).
When I create a Saved Search in the preferences, if I just delete the default 'Saved Search' text in the Label column and move onto the Query column before entering anything, I cannot access the Label column. Double clicking, or Control clicking achieves nothing. I have to delete that saved search and start again. Not a huge ordeal, but it does not feel like correct behaviour.

Hmmm... This seems to be an issue with Apple's default tableview behavior in some way. It looks like you have to double click on the text to edit it, and if you delete the label the text has a width of zero, making it hard to click on. Leaving a single space is tough to edit but still possible....
If you edit the query column and then shift tab, you can edit the label column.
I'll look into what else can be done.

This seems to be a default part of how macOS works. Similar thing happens when trying to single click on filenames in the Finder to edit them, for example.
Two alternatives:1. Don't delete the text. :)
2. Select a row and hit return to start editing/tab to move between fields.
I suspect overriding macOS to change the behavior will take a lot of work for little payoff.
Thanks for letting us know!0 -
Thank you for investigating.
I actually found this behavior quite by accident, some how clicking out of the Label column before I had entered anything. I'll be more careful next time!

I agree it is an unusual default behavior for macOS from an accessibility standpoint. At least return/tab offers an alternative method to accomplish the same thing.
