Sort difference in new version and difference in Searching

Post by SteveBeauchemin »

I have 2 things to ask.

1.) I just noticed that my Service list sort order is now putting all the Upper case in a group before the Lower case names.
I am okay with this but wondered if that is intentional.

Previously, "OV*" would come after "hps*". In the new 5.7.3 it is listed before, with all the other upper case services.

2.)
I also noticed something that I DO care about.

The search in the black menu strip still does the look ahead as you type in a name. It provides you with items to choose from a list. If you do use it, you only get a Host Status of the item selected. As such I tend not to use it. I like to see all the services.

I prefer to use the white search in the Service Status to select. I used to get 10 items to choose from.
The search in the Service Status page no longer does a look ahead. It no longer populates the screen with host names as you type. It only uses the web browser history for that form search box. I used to be able to select the server of my choice there. This I see as a downgrade. Was this intentional?

Please advise.

Thanks

#1 has to do with the change in NDO and the sorting and I don't think there is much to be done about it but I brought it up to the developers.

#2 I confirmed is a bug, and it will be fixed in the next release of XI
