Issue report by dbyte

 FileMaker Product(s) involved:FileMaker Pro 10.x 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 database2. if necessary, switch the status bar to visible and unlocked3. create a new script with only one step which will HIDE AND LOCK the status bar4. switch to Find Mode5. do a search e.g. on a text field 6. execute the search, enter Browse Mode7. enter menu item Saved Finds > Recent Finds8. you should be able to see and click the string of your last search9. now run the script which locks and hides the status bar10. execute step 711. 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.
