v112 Quick Filter toolbar

Post by Gone Postal »

I don't use the Quick Filter toolbar but it looks as if it appears by default in v112. If I go to View > Toolbars and disable it, it disappears but when I next reload v112 it is back again.

Any way to change the default behaviour and hide the bar automatically?

I got tired of the same and add the quick filter button to the toolbar so I could at least only have to hit a button to turn it off.

I'm sure it's just a bug at this point as the quick filter does not auto-enable in Release.

I don't see how you would know it is "design", since you weren't in on the design.

Anyway, it's just a bug. Betas have bugs. Betas have bugs that get fixed. That's part of the purpose of having a beta.

Don't know how the bad design bit has been attributed to me. If you check my original post at the start of the thread you will see that it has no relation to what appears under my name in the next posting. However, the posting by @Snake4 which you quote has now suddenly revised itself to show the correct quote and format. The problem is fixed in 114b anyway so thanks to the team for that.
