Wox does not respect last query settings

Created on 12 Jun 2017  ·  9Comments  ·  Source: Wox-launcher/Wox

  1. Wox version / commit number: 1.3.424
  2. Windows version: 10 build 1511
  3. Steps to reproduce the bug:
  • Do a search with Wox.
  • Do another search with Wox
  • Even though the default setting is for Wox to select the last query, it is not selected, so when you start typing a new query it just adds text to the previous query.
  • In Wox general settings set "Last Query Style" to "Empty last Query"
  • Try another search with Wox
  • The previous search is still there

OK, I was experiencing the same issue (same Wox version). I just managed to solve this issue. Restarted PC - didn't work at first. Then I set the Last Query Style drop-down to each of its 3 settings, 1 by 1. This still did not work, but having set it to "Empty Last Query", I closed Wox and re-opened it. Now it works!

Update. Wox now works correctly for me. My computer was restarted in between, so I guess that was enough to fix it. But it was a real problem after first installing it.

I'm experiencing this issue as well. Restart did not resolve.

I am experiencing this issue as well. Same version.

7e51f1a fixes this. Try latest builds from the dev branch https://ci.appveyor.com/project/happlebao/wox/build/1.3.501/artifacts

I will merge dev into master and draft a new release soon enough.

Reopen if still experiencing issues.

I am still getting this behavior with Wox 1.3.524

Yes, me too I am still getting this behavior with Wox 1.3.524

Seeing this on latest 1.3.524 as well.
Worst thing about it is it keeps the ctrl-o screen from the last command, so it's more keystrokes to get out of that, and then start typing the next query.
I have tried restarting wox in between settings as well

@dimitrior Selecting each value for 'Last Query Style' one by one, then choosing 'Empty last Query', then restarting Wox (v 1.3.524) also did the trick for me - thank you! :) By the way, just to be crystal clear, no PC restart was necessary.
