KB237187: First element is not always highlighted in a Search Box Selector result list in Express Mode in MicroStrategy Web 9.4.1.

SYMPTOM
In Strategy Web 9.4.1, users can add a Search Box Selector to type in element names in order to display a list of attribute elements to choose from. In Flash mode, the first element in the list is highlighted, so pressing "Enter" will automatically populate the selector with the first element, as shown below.

However, in Express Mode, the highlight of the first element can disappear as more letters are typed into the search box, as shown below:

 Notice how southeast is not actually highlighted.
 
STEPS TO REPRODUCE
To reproduce the issue in the Strategy Tutorial project, follow these steps:

• Create a document with a dataset that includes the "Region" attribute.
• Add a search box selector that sources from "Region".
• Run the document in Flash Mode.
• Type in "South" into the Search Box selector, and notice 3 elements appear. The first element is selected by default, as shown below:
  

• Run the document in Express Mode.
• Type "S" into the Search Box selector. Notice 3 elements appear, and the first one is selected by default, as shown below:
  

• However, continue typing in "South". Notice the first element is no longer selected by default.

 
CAUSE
This is a known issue in Strategy Web 9.4.1-10.x.
 
ACTION
This issue was reviewed for feasibility by our Technology team and was not scoped for any upcoming scheduled Strategy release. Strategy will continue to post updates as soon as they are available.
 
WORKAROUND
As a workaround, users can manually select the element, use keyboard arrows to select the desired element, or use Flash mode.
