Not able to recall recent/saved finds with locked status bar

[Tammo]

FYI

FileMaker Product(s) involved:

FileMaker 10.x - NDA

Operating System(s) involved:

Tested on OSX 10.5.8, Win XP SP3

Detailed description of the issue:

It is not possible to recall find criteria via the "Saved Finds" feature when the status bar is OFF AND LOCKED. Appropriate menu items "Saved Finds" and "Recent Finds" are greyed out.

Exact steps to reproduce the issue:

1. open any existing or new FM 10+ database

2. if necessary, switch the status bar to visible and unlocked

3. create a new script with only one step which will HIDE AND LOCK the status bar

4. switch to Find Mode

5. do a search e.g. on a text field

6. execute the search, enter Browse Mode

7. enter menu item Saved Finds > Recent Finds

8. you should be able to see and click the string of your last search

9. now run the script which locks and hides the status bar

10. execute step 7

11. now the menu items "Saved Finds" and "Recent Finds" are greyed out and therefore not reachable anymore

Expected Result:

"Saved Finds" must be executable irrespective of the status bar's current mode. The behaviour of Saved Finds is not consistent with other items which are part of the status bar (New Record / Delete Record...).

Actual Result:

You cannot recall saved/recent finds via the "Saved Find" function with a locked and hidden status bar

Additional testing variations:

Other users reproduced and confirmed the inconsistent behaviour/bug

Any workarounds that we have found:

None.
