Using chm files and runtime merging

Post by booey »

If you use runtime merging of chm files, beware of this problem introduced by Flare V8. When a search term is used in the FTS edit box of the "Master" chm, and the search is invoked , each topic found is listed twice in the results window if the term is found in a merged chm file and there are any direct links from the Master chm to a merged chm. If the term is found only in the main chm the results window correctly lists the topic only once. This has been reported to Madcap who confirm the bug exists, but no fix has yet been found.
