Search function from Layout Mac does not work

Technical Problems LayOut
1

Search function from Layout Mac does not work. Works in Adobe apps and everything else. What is going on? Layout still seems like a beta program to me. There are so many issues with the rendering (some I have posted and the one where the drawing window randomly renders in grey scale I never back about) and the program freezing. Would be nice if Trimble took responsibility and set a timetable to fix things on the Mac side. Anyway, not sure how to get the search functionality when opening a file. It always comes up blank no matter what I enter. This has been this way for a while

Mac OS 10.15.7 MacBook Pro 32 gb of ram
Layout 20.2.171

If I choose File, Open, and click in the Search field, I am able to search and get a list of results.

What are the steps you are doing?

same thing. Not sure why it always comes up empty. Is there a preferences file I can delete?

The search box is a macOS thing, not to do with LayOut. I found this discussion:

So it seems that it’s not an unheard of problem.

@Adam can you think of any way that LayOut might invoke the open dialog in a way that triggers a macOS issue?
