Shouldn't highlighted locations be removed after the search?

Probably a strange question … I’m not sure if it’s always been like this

When I am searching for something, like this

The locations are highlighted in yellow

Shouldn’t all selections be removed when I delete the search?

In my case, the highlights remain.

It’s unclear whether this is the search field of the toolbar or of the Search inspector.

I don’t know what it’s called :innocent: This one

This one just closes the search results.

And the search results remain highlighted?

Hard to tell how your setup looks like but obviously.

Mm, not sure I understand your answer. If you do what I described above, search, then closes the search results (click on x), do your search results stay highlighted?

Edit: To remove the highlighting, I first have to press ⌘+r or open/close the inspector.

If the search inspector is open with search results, then yes the occurrences in the currently viewed document will be highlighted.

Thank you for your answer @BLUEFROG

No, the inspector is not open. I think this “bug” occurred after DT crashed a few days ago. I believe before that the highlights were removed when the search was closed.

Could it be that a setting has changed due to the crash? Or what could I try to restore the original state?

Hold the Option key and choose Help > Report bug to start a support ticket so we can inspect the logs. Thanks!

This only opens apple Mail … without a mail address.

Have you given DEVONthink Full Disk Access and allowed its Automation requests in System Settings > Privacy & Security?

Ok, thanks, sent. Will I receive feedback here in the forum or directly by e-mail?

We’ll move the conversation to the support ticket system.

What is that? Or where do I see that?

You’ll get an email response to the opening of the ticket. Then you will see responses from me (typically) there too. See the information in the response email.

Also, make sure email from support@devontechnologies.com is not going to your spam or junk folders.
