I have checked “Search for text when I start typing” but it is not happening since your latest update. This is very important to me as I keyboard - not use the mouse. What can I do? Also, before the last update I could leave the window (alt+tab) and return and just type and it would type it is the search box. Now I have to take my hand off the keyboard and get the mouse three times for every search, slowing my work way, way down. What other flag do I need to put this back the way it was? Should I also remove the “Automatically check for updates” so that this will not happen again? Please, please help.

Hi CynthiaP,

You should look at the article Preferences not saved. It may just be an issue with the pref file!

Hopefully this helps!
