Search Returns Genesis 1

[tswope]

Very frequently (frustratingly so), I will open my ESV module, enter a reference, and the search will dump me to Genesis (no verse numbers highlighted, just the beginning of the module). The second time I search, it will return the proper result. Usually this happens when I need to find a passage in the middle of a project. But, whenever I try to reproduce it, I can't figure out when it's actually happening.

 

Is anyone else experiencing searches (i.e., "Jn 3:1") that dump you to the beginning of the module?

Hi @tswope,

I am not experiencing that specifically, but I do encounter a similar problem. Often if I type something, be it a word, key, or whatever, and hit enter, instead of bringing me to what I searched for it brings me to some other random word.

 

What I have found is causing it has something to do with where my pointer is at the time. I have discovered that if I type or paste my word or key, before I hit enter I need to actually move my cursor ABOVE the search bar, and not just away. This is because if it is moved slightly down or to the side, when I press enter it will sometimes pull up something in the dropdown that auto-populated, while if I move it up it does not cause issues.

 

This is sometimes a problem, and sometimes not, so I have just gotten into the habit of always moving my cursor up since it seems like luck when it is an issue or not.

 

So maybe what you are experiencing is something different, but I think it is related. Before you press enter move your cursor up and see if that helps.

@Kristin, that does seem related. I will start trying that and see what happens.
