Right Click on search term doesn't work

[hopalong]

in LW4.15.0 (XP). Is this intentional or a bug ?

What is it supposed to do? In what tab?

What is it supposed to do? In what tab?

When I search for any text, there is a tab for the search results, with that text on the top (before this text is an "x" to close the search). In this version I can't get the menu with right click to this text to research - stop search, close search and search more used to work here. I can research only from the search result lines, if there are any.

Edit:
This works in every LW version before 4.15.0 .

Yup, that'd be a bug. We updated that code a bit and this must been overlooked. Thanks for pointing it out. :)

It's great to see the menu again in 4.15.1, but a little bit disturbs me the varying order / number of menu items (in previous versions the menu items were in fix place). I would like to see the Search More always in the 1st place, what I have to use most frequently.

[Sam]

Was Search More listed first before?

The order should never change unless you right-click on it without having selected any results. We changed the code to generate the menu from the result itself, so if no result is selected, it's hard to know what to put in the menu. Search More changed very slightly to be listed under Advanced, because that option always exists, while Advanced is based on the result.

The only shuffling that should happen is the menu when you right-click before you've selected any result. Any item that's specific to a result selection won't be listed.

[hopalong]

No, Search More was in the bottom part of the menu, just as now, if there is a selected result line.

I understand you, the new look is practical, from the programmer's view. But for me - or maybe for others - is unpractical, I always have to search with my eyes to the menu item text, for example for Search More, I don't know offhand where to click. That's why I proposed to place the three menu item: Search More, Stop Search and Close Search to the 1st three position, and below them the variable part.

[Sam]

I thought about that option (putting the Search More / Stop / Close on top), but then thought that was inconvenient for the majority of cases where the user wants to right-click and Download or Download As. What do you think?

[hopalong]

It's right, probably the majority find something to download. Download works though with double click, but only for single line. So if you can't produce the same menu for every case easily, then don't touch it.
But if it is not a big work, you could implement the double click on the search term to make a research.

[Sam]

I think we'll tentatively leave the menu as-is, and see if we get more feedback (positive or negative on it). Thanks. :)

Speaking of which, could you move Bitzi out of the Advanced menu?
Too few are finding and using it. ;]
