Enter key does not work for text search

[ybfelix]

Since 2.3(free), there is a bug on my machine that Ctrl+F failed to move courser to "find box", now it seems build 3309 fix this, but if I type something then press ENTER key, nothing happens, I had to mouse click the "arrow" button to make it begin search. Can it be fixed, too?

All my three machines have this problem: two with Chinese Windows xp Pro sp2/sp3, another with Chinese Windows xp Home/sp2. Does east-asian OS have anything to do with this?

The Enter key works for Full Search(Ctrl+shift+F), though. Suggestion: add some progress bar or animated icon to indicate that search is working while full searching "in current PDF document", since it could take a long time for larger documents, and without indications users may thought the application is dead or something

btw: I greatly appreciate your work for this excellent free product, but could you at least make the little advertisement at upper right corner not to "blink", i.e. one advertisement a session, since I find the color change a little distracting :-)

Hi ybfelix, you're not alone on noticing this and many other issues are still pending. Here's one thread on the topic:

Because of the priority, I'm worried development has no one intimately familiar with keyboard methods.

It looks like Ctrl-Shft-F opens the full Search dialog, and pressing Enter after entering a search DOES perform the search.

But you are correct. If Ctrl-F is used for the the toolbar Find function, the Enter key does nothing. However, the F3 button DOES perform the search and subsequent use of F3 moves to the next occurrence of the search. I agree and second the request to make the Enter key perform the search for the the toolbar Find function.

Hi all , thanks for your input. Enter key for the toolbar Find function has been fixed in our internal new edition.

Hi ybfelix, you will see changes to the advertisement in version 3.0.
