Hi everyone,
I migrated a project from RH2017 to RH2019, new UI, some time ago and would like to report several issues I've encountered while working in the new Robohelp 2019 (update 6, new UI) and also provide some feedback about the new UI. I'm also curious about your experience regarding these.
I hope these issues will be looked at and addressed in future updates.

Thanks for helping me find the "Find in page" option. I've been resorting to using a text editor to find content in even single topics I will say, now that I've tried it, I do briefly get an odd popover that suggests there is a more complex search dialog box in the background, so why it isn't exposed is curious... (It flashes up too quickly for me to get a screenshot.
I definitely agree the search needs improvement. Searching multiple files by only title or file name is really limiting. And then only being able to open them (and one by one) is frustrating. So I'll probably continue to use an external text editor to search.
And I really, really hate that error message - there is absolutely no indication of what caused it, so the best you can say when you report a problem is "I was typing in the page and I got this error". I do believe there is now an error log in Update 6, so that might be something that can help. I don't currently have Update 6, so I'm not sure if it's human readable or solely designed for Adobe developers.
You can report all the issues you find here:

I fired up Camtasia screen recorder and captured a frame showing this dialog.

On topic list, can you try clicking this option to hide the filters panel so you have more space.

@Amitoj Thanks for the replies!

Thank you for the tip. This is a good workaround. I'm struggling with the columns only when there are a lot of filters turned on. I believe this is because there is no scrollbar and they all have to fit in.

Yes, I will send it to you with more details.

Yes, sure. I already mentioned the specific areas, but I'll try to elaborate with examples. Both areas are related to the Indigo or Coffee skin.
1) In the skin editor, there is no option to have the TOC book titles on the home page fully displayed. At present, if the TOC book title is medium/long, only the first few words are displayed with an ellipsis (see the example below). It would be great to have an option in the skin editor to choose how TOC titles are shown.
2) The width of the content area is a bit too narrow on desktop, and there is no setting to set it up in the skin editor. It would be nice to have the ability to adjust it for the skin.
