Dear collegues,

I own a Trados 2022 license, but for some time now the search function stopped working. I can see a second window appear on the taskbar, but I cannot click on it. This prevents me from searching terms and from replacing them. I use two displays, but the search window is not to be found in either one.

I already tried resetting the window layout, as sugested in an other thread but that did not change anything. Of course, I also restarted the programm and even my computer, but the problem persists.

Has anyone else ever had this problem?

Please help

Best wishes to all of you.

I had the same problem Feb 7

To fix it, open the search dialog by clicking Ctrl+F, and then click Alt+Space.
Then, click once on the arrow down key and press Enter.

Now use the arrow keys to move the dialog left\right\up\down until it is visible again.

Hope it helps.

Taskbar settings Feb 7

Hi Martina,

It might be because of your Windows settings.
If you are using Windows 11, right click on your taskbar ->expand "Taskbar behaviors"> For the option "When using multiple displays, show my taskbar apps on" choose "Taskbar where windows is open".

I have "automatically hide the taskbar" option unchecked and the options related to "Combine taskbar buttons..." set to "Never".

Hope this helps!

My approach Feb 8

I recognize this behavior.

My approach is to switch to another Windows editor, press Ctrl+F there and then return to Trados.

Looks like Ctrl+F sometimes gets hijacked in Trados ...
