Boostnote: Search box misses quickly typed characters

[tewe]

Current behavior

In this screenshot I typed "android", but only every third letter got through, probably because it was busy searching.

Expected behavior

Only apply the filter after the user stops typing for n milliseconds.

Also when I try to search for multiple times, sometimes the cursor jump to the editor (the focus switch to the editor) and my search input will be typed in the editor. Another reason is the max listener error on line:jump event.

still not fixed in 0.11.15

I have both issues too. Sometimes the cursor jump to the editor and the search box misses quickly typed characters.

I have come here to report the jumping focus issue, as well - and I would like to point out that this is really a serious issue.

I have already "vandalized" multiple notes of my own, because I typed into the search box, a part of my query ended up in the beginning of a note (thereby invalidating the headline formatting I usually start with in Markdown notes), but as I didn't realize that (while searching, I typically focus my visual attention on the filtered notes list, not on the note editor), I kept searching and later on didn't know notes were unintentionally changed.

Same here i think this is biggest issue in boostnote. You can't just ignore this issue like other minor issues because you feel it 20 times in a day and you have to write slowly and be sure focus not switched to note.

Yes, it's very annoying bug. 😥

I'm so glad others are having this issue, I was thinking I was going crazy...

[chrnoe]

Same here, I don't know how many and how often I changed my notes during searching for them. Should be fixed asap, it's very annoying.

I'll be firing up a PR momentarily that should address this issue. 🤞

Still happening on latest release under Ubuntu 18.04 & Windows 10

On version 11.10 this did not happen, which is the version I'm using on all my devices ATM to get rid of this bug.

Same here. Still not fixed in 11.17.

Fixed in v0.12.0-0 🙏 @Rokt33r

Where is the binary for Windows and the description? 😶

[Flexo013]

@Lodeiro0001 This is a prerelease build for testing features before going to a full release.

As for the missing Windows binary, we are running into some build/file-size problems that we hopefully can fix in the upcoming days.
