0.99.1: The "Search" context menu item doesn't work
Posted: Mon Nov 15, 2021 12:49 am
XnView: MP 0.99.1 - 64 bit
OS: Windows 10 v21H1 and Windows Server 2022
Upon right-clicking on one of the items in the "Folders" pane, a context menu appears. One of the items in this menu is "Search..." (fourth from bottom.) However, this item doesn't do anything. I expect this item to be the equivalent of Ctrl+F or the "Tools → Search..." item on the main menu.
Effect: Minor nuisance; we still can perform searches, just not with that item.
To reproduce:
1. Install a copy of XnViewMP 0.99.1 on a clean machine.
2. Start XnViewMP.
3. Accept the defaults for the first-run setup.
4. In the "Folders" pane to the left, right-click on a file system object, e.g., "Windows", "C:\", or "Program Files" (it doesn't matter.)
5. From the menu that appears, select "Search..."
Actual behavior (bug): Nothing happens! 
(If your computer is under user-mode load, you might be able to catch a glimpse of a dialog box getting drawn on the screen and then disappearing.)
Expected behavior: The "Search" dialog box must appear, as if you have pressed the CTRL+F key combination, or selected the "Tools → Search..." item on the main menu.

Thanks to your detailed description I can reproduce
