Popup Menu, Type-ahea, and Windows

[JohnnyZ]

When clicking on a popup menu in MacOS version, you can type a letter on the keyboard and the list will jump alphabetically to that part of the list; however, this doesn't seem to be working on a Windows workstation. Is this a missing feature, or am I missing a particular configuration?

I also received a report that this breaks on Windows 7.  Upon searching, I can find no indication that it has been discussed or even reported.

 

Can someone on Windows verify?  It works fine on Maverick.

 

Pop-up Menu used to work fine on Windows XP ... you could type a letter and it would jump and if you typed fast, it would jump as deep as the first three characters.

Well, I finally found one reference where it was posted as a bug but no response from FileMaker.

Still no answer from FM on this?

And I thought that popups were a primitive feature that had long been finalized cross-platform.

This is a real setback for the user interface.

I reported this bug to Filemaker today VIA online chat support. The guy confirmed the bug gave me a case ref. and said he would get someone to look into it.
