Re: Database disk image is malformed - HELP!

I have the same problem today (after editing invalid characters in the xml editor i think)
- if this happens the Analsysis > Summary does not work.
- after clearing the above folders (default Madcap solution) it is solved.

By searching on the website this system variable name is not converted

Re: Custom meta tags to a file

This is a gooe idea / feature
I have the same problem

A possible work-around, is to add 2 HTM files
wi1h one snippet block (but this cost much work and less overview etc)

Re: Search results 'hanging'

I have also had the same problem.
- In my case it was caused, i think, because during building I cancelled the building process...
- On some terms I can search on others not.
- It was an Internal help system, so i remove the content from the server and rebuild again.

Re: Are Dropdowns Annoying?

I agree with Jeff :)

Note:
When using a drop down, with
a table (with many columns), it does not scale if you view it at a smaller resolution. The second part (right) of the table is then not visible.

Re: Search filter list padding between entries

in the Skins I see only by *Search Bar* the Height.
I find it a bug, because if you change the height the filter list must also change (inherit it).

Remark I used this (filterlist) but in the results you don't see:
.... returned X result(s).
I think this is a bug (in Flare 2019 R2).
