Qlik Button chart requires me to click twice

I posted earlier about this problem.  I have a large table of ids.  The user wants to be able to filter for hundreds of Ids by copy-pasting from Excel into a text box and clicking a button to filter the dashboard for the ids the user needs.  Bookmarks will not work as the list of Ids will change frequently.

I have a table with ids.  I am providing an input box to enter a search argument in Qlik Compound search syntax, for eg (0001|0005).  The input box will load the value into a variable.  I have a Button chart that has an action to "Select values matching search criteria" which will take the values from the variable and filter for the ids.

The problem is that I need to click the button twice.  Why is that?

 

On Qlik cloud, it looks like you always have to click twice.  The first click sets the variable with the input box value.  The 2nd click seems to perform the match action.

On Qlik enterprise, if the column has a different value selected, it takes one click.  Else it needs two clicks.
