2026.2 - multiselect/search bug

[Peter Piers]

With the newest 2026.2 on Android, I was having weird problems selecting games, so I looked at it more carefully. Didn't test this on windows yet, actually. Just android.

If you search/filter for certain characters, then trying to select items from the resulting list doesn't work, and it seems to try to multiselect. It happens if you search for ! , for instance, and also * which is inconvenient because I tag certain games *** so I can easily load them again. Also for ( and ) and _ and I guess other characters.

Naturally, there is no trouble when searching for letters os numbers.

BTW, out of curiosity, I tried this in the Windows build, and, as I expected, the Windows build shows no problems. I tried the Android port again, and it's definitely an issue. I can't replicate the exact behaviour each time, because when I search/filter for * and then tap on a game, or a few games, one of two things will happen: either the tap will do nothing, or it will start multiselecting. When it starts multiselecting, it may be possible to start a game; otherwise, it isn't. Either way, however, it's not possible to edit a game's options in this way - because we can't select any individually. And though I can't predict what will happen (will it not select anything or will it multi-select?), what definitely does not happen is selecting the game as expected behaviour.
