When I use the search function (CTRL+F) in kicad 9.0.1 schematics, the descriptions of the symbols appear on the screen and I cannot close it. What is the solution? Thank you.
I just tried to reproduce the error ((windows 10, kicad 9.0.1), indeed it looks like a bug. to reproduce:
- open a schematic
- enable “search hidden fields”
- search for something
All hidden fields that contain a searched character appear and do not disappear afterwards even when pressing esc, toggling field visibilities, searching something different, etc. the only thing that “resets” the schematic state is to close and open it again
I opened an issue (Hidden fields remain visible after search and cannot be hidden again (#20865) · Issues · KiCad / KiCad Source Code / kicad · GitLab)
Yes, I encountered the same problem. Sometimes it goes back to normal and sometimes it doesn’t. Thanks.
Or after F5 (Refresh) ?
Tried with f5 too, no change
Was suggesting that you add that to your ticket/issue 
Fair enough, added it to the issue
