Yeah, that’s been a problem off and on for a very long time. I’ve trained myself to use the search when selecting columns. Depending on how you name and group your columns, that mostly avoids the issue.
Yes I’m using search it helps a lot but not enough. Because as we see in your video the names can be long and the window size is fixed, so some time it is difficult to decide which one is target
I’m aware of the workarounds (thanks @Darren_Murphy ).
Just wanted to add for the dev’s info (I’m assume someone monitors the ‘Report a Bug’ category) that it appears to be particularly bad where there are elements that remain active behind the menu, for example Data Editor/Add row, which you can see activating with mouse rollover despite their being an active drop down menu in the FG.
