Alfred's search box will not respond or allow selection of results

[Tyler Eich]

Here's a video download of the behavior. It started around 10:00pm on August 1, 2013.

 

I have not restarted Alfred since the behavior started. If you want any further information or system reports, please let me know quickly so I can restart Alfred and maybe get him working again!

 

Alfred does not respond to:

• Delete (unless you press Cmd-A first, or if the text is selected already by ); in the video, I pressed delete every time a newline was typed.
• Return (simply types a newline)
• Arrow keys; they do not move the cursor or highlight results
• Clicking outside Alfred to hide his window; you must use your hotkey to toggle
• Switching spaces does not hide Alfred; he simply stays on the screen he started at.

The bug also affects FS Navigation and Clipboard History.

 

Hotkeys work; that's about it.

There are more Diagnostics messages further back, if you need them; these are the ones closest to the time of glitch.

 

Alfred 2.0.6 on OS X 10.8.4. Replicated: Yes within Alfred's current state, No when starting from a restart

This looks like a lower level crash in something within OS X, outside Alfred's control. I'm going to move it to closed - let me know if this kinda thing happens again

I certainly will! I relaunched Alfred and all my problems were fixed
