Status: RESOLVED WORKSFORME

(Thunderbird :: Search, defect)

Steps to reproduce:

Version 102.9.0 (64-bit)

I tried to use Quick Filter Bar, it worked, but now when i type something it isn't doing any searches, nothing is happening.

I found that editing settings.json help it.

Broken:
"ext":{
"quickFilter":{
"filterValues":{

                    },
                    "visible":true
                 }

Working one:
"ext":{
"quickFilter":{
"filterValues":{
"text":{
"text":null,
"states":{
"sender":true,
"recipients":true,
"subject":true,
"body":true
}
}
},
"visible":true
}

It appear that on some conditions filterValues is empty, and then the app will not allow using Quick Filter at all.

See bug 1823272?

Yes, it appears to be the same.
However, the solution shouldn't be asking the user to delete / modify files.
Happened for me multiple times already, so the code has to be fixed to avoid it.

The issue appear for me without any extensions.
To reproduce, clean "filterValues": {} array in session.json.
