phx Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 Running Alfred v3.5.1 on macOS 10.13.1. Occasionally (I haven't been able to pin down a root cause yet), Alfred does nothing when I select an option from search results. E.g.: 1. Activate Alfred (⌘-Space). 2. Type a shortcut (e.g., "term"). - Terminal.app (or iTerm.app, etc.) is highlighted. 3. Press return. Expected behaviour: Alfred switches to the highlighted application. Actual behaviour: Search results are cleared, but Alfred stays focused and does not switch to the highlighted application. This only occurs some of the time (maybe 1-2 times per day). I'm not sure exactly what to look for; let me know what additional information I can provide to assist with diagnosing this issue. Link to comment
Andrew Posted December 14, 2017 Share Posted December 14, 2017 @phx Try updating to 10.13.2, and restarting your Mac. Alfred does a very standard call to macOS to tell it to launch a file or app. If this isn't working, then something will be up in macOS. You could also try temporarily creating a new user account and trying on there. Cheers, Andrew Link to comment
phx Posted December 18, 2017 Author Share Posted December 18, 2017 Hey Andrew. Thanks for the suhggestion. I updated to 10.13.2, but even after a restart, this issue persists. I hate to fire back with simply, "It still doesn't work." I'm looking for patterns that trigger/mitigate the issue, but I haven't found anything conclusive yet. Let me know if you have any ideas to test out. Link to comment
