Hi sachap, I'd love some screenshots too, in order for me to have the full visual of what you see on your end. 

 

If you could send me some, I'd appreciate that.

Hi Megan,

 

Well well well, since monday, the very problem that I underlined has disapeared! And I'm sure it was there because I tested it quite thouroughly (I'm in IT and testing GUI is partof my job). 

Folder filter by default has returned in the search field. It's value always change to the current folder. So the original way is back.

 

The only thing I see as remaining a little disturbing is that when you change folder, the "folder filter" icon that appears right to the magnifying glass of the search field is not displayed with the folder name. The (adequate) folder name appears only when you click in the search field. 

 

See screen shots attached (01 is before clicking in the search field, 02 is after: the folder name appears, as it should have at step 01). I have put a red rectangle around the zone of interest.

 

SCREEN 01:

 

 

 

SCREEN 02:

 

Hope this helps.

 

Regards,

 

Sacha

    Hi Sacha, thanks for the added info, much appreciated! 

     

    Does this happen on a specific browser? Have you tried a different one?
