Select all button in Journal has no effect.

Steps to reproduce

• Search for existing files.
• Select one then use the Select all button above items.
• Selections are deselected instead of being selected.

Nothing helpful shown in logs.

One more observation, this happens only if the name of the file(as mentioned inside activity.info) is not entered completely in the search-box.
Example : To select terminal activity, typing at least 'terminal' will give expected results. Anything less than that like 'ter' will result in this error.
Also, I noticed if complete name of an activity is searched, the auto search result will include all other activities.

Thanks for that, just noticed this too and it shouldn't have to be the case. @quozl was there any particular reason for this?

That's expected given what you mentioned above.

Hope you're doing okay @sourabhaa, been hearing about what's been happening in India.

I tried but can't reproduce. Can you explain further what happens and what you expected?

When I search for TamTam all the TamTam instances show in the search results and after selecting one, I use the select all button and I expect that everything that came up after the search be selected but what happens is, the selected activity is deselected and the search is automatically cleared.

For more clarity,

1. Search terminal , all search history of terminal activity is listed, Select all feature works fine (because inside activity.info, name = Terminal).
2. Search term, all search history of terminal activity is listed, Select all button deselects.
3. Search terminal activity, all search history of all the activities(which has 'activity' in its name as shown in the search list (not in activity.info)) is listed, Select all button works fine(selects all the activities listed).

That's expected given what you mentioned above.

The third case is what I meant. You mean both 2nd and 3rd case have same cause?

Thanks for asking @chimosky , I'm in perfect health (but the situation is worsening...)

No, I mean when you search for an activity and include the words "Activity" all activities are bound to show up in the result as they have that in their name when saved as journal objects.

Glad you're okay, I hope things change.

[quozl]

I guess I'm still confused. Are you searching activities or Journal objects?

[chimosky]

Searching for activities in the journal.

[quozl]

Okay, searching for Journal objects that happen to contain activity names because the user did not change the object name. I don't remember the details of the search entry changes. Best would be to reverse engineer the code. Sam Parkinson added completion.
