Verified issue does not already exist?

  • I have searched and found no existing issue

What happened?

When I type in the Search field of the account page, the search field sometimes defocuses for no apparent reason. This is problematic with all the shortcuts Actual Budget has.

In one case, I was suddenly editing the date field of one of the transactions that appeared.

The search field in question:

Screenshot of the Actual Budget application showing the search field for the accounts page that appears at the top-right.

How can we reproduce the issue?

I haven't figured out the exact situation this happens, it's rather flaky.

It just seems like as the Account transactions are updating, something causes the field to defocus. I haven't figured out if the mouse cursor position is relevant.

Client version: v25.5.0

Where are you hosting Actual?

Docker

What browsers are you seeing the problem on?

Firefox

Operating System

Linux

👋 Hey! Thanks for reporting this, I'll keep my eye out for it.

It looks like you're on an old version of Actual, it's very possible it's been fixed already. Could you try updating to v25.8.0 (released today) and let me know if you still see the same behaviour?

Yup, I just noticed that and I've updated to v25.8.0. I'll follow-up if I still see this happening.
