Bug? Typing to create drop-down filter jumps to Firefox Search box?!

[jrdunson]

Hello,

Just wanted to ask, in the Qlikview Desktop Development environment, I can start typing in a Column Selection box... and the text is used as a filter, as I type....  For example, if I was looking up States... and I used the column header...to type NE, the possible matches are highlighted:

However, if I'm the AJAX Web Client, I can type N...and before I type E, the column freezes, and the cursor jumps to the Firefox Search Box at the bottom left of the screen:

On the bottom of the web browser, here is the Firefox search box... the box that typically shows, with a Control-F command

Do you know how to prevent this from happening?

Hi,

Can you let us know what version of QV and Firefox you're using please? Some AJAX glitches like this can be due to QV / browser version incompatibility.

Have you tried another browser?

Regards,

Qlikview: Version 11.20.12904.0 SR12 64-bit Edition (x64)

Firefox:  49.0.1

We use QV in an enterprise license agreement, and cannot update to 12 or more... yet..

At the university where I am, we are still using Firefox 38.1.0 (extended support release) and have 11.20 SR10. I have had at least one user reporting rendering issues, because they were using a later version of firefox. My only suggestion is to try an earier version of firefox if that is possible, or another browser.

Sorry, I can't be more help,

It's not a bug - it's a (firefox) feature (to start the search with the first typing):
