Quick filter start automatically with a "old value" when thunderbird start...

more options

Hello, Sorry for my english. I have a "little" problem with Thunderbird. When I start Thunderbird, the "Quick filter" start automatically with a "old value". I need to delete the value and OK the "Quick Search" process stop. But when I restart Thunderbird, the "Ghost Filter search" ;-) with the same old value restart... So how to delete this "old search entrie" and the "automatic process at starting" ??? Have a nice day, Philippe

With the editor I delete the "Ghost text" between the "". Restart Thunderbird... all works fine, no more a automatically "Ghost filter" at starting :-) I hope is a solution for others users. Have a nice day, Philippe
