nice trick: the combination of searches. Looking forward to grouped columns. ---

Couldnā€™t help noticing the cursor jumping out of the column search in the GDE. Do you get that much? I get it all the timeā€¦ annoying, eh? ---

I have experienced this a lot such that I stopped using the search column function. What I have resorted to do now is to type the first 2 letters and then wait a bit for the columns to be filtered outā€¦ I then continue to type after 2/3 seconds after that and it works. I was not sure if itā€™s a bug or not but if all of you ā€œwizardsā€ are also experiencing it, then it is a big and must be reported, I thinkā€¦ @Mark or @Jason can you please look into it and apologies if itā€™s been reported already. ---

Iā€™ve reported it before, although I donā€™t think it has its own bug topic. > [@Find Column, space](https://community.glideapps.com/t/find-column-space/26479/5): > > Related to this, have you noticed that the cursor often ā€œjumps outā€ of the column search bar? ie. You click in the ā€œFind Columnā€ box and start typing. After the 2nd or 3rd character the cursor jumps out of the search box and into the main Glide table view. Iā€™ve actually inadvertently overwritten data because of this scream @George-Glide @Mark ---

Okay. Thanks. Although I must say I also wrote over some data when this happened to me and as you know there is no ā€œundoā€ button in the editor šŸ˜±ā€¦ ---
