In the OE CHUI editor, I select Database, Reports, Quick Field and a list of all my tables comes up.
Normally, and in previous version (I just upgraded two weeks ago), if I start typing a field name, the browse follows along and highlights a selection.
This still works for all table names starting with "b" through "z".
But it doesn't work with tables starting with "a". (it's weird!)
And if I type out the table name starting with "a" and press Enter it gives me this error:
"The entered name does not match any table name in this database."
To report on a table starting with "a", I have to arrow down to it. But just those starting with "a".
Is this a known issue? Is there a workaround? Where would I report this as a bug?

I tried this is 11.7.2 and it's working for me. Can you post a screenshot?
Sure:
But for "b" it works:
I can reproduce it now. Which version did you upgrade from?
10.2B
I see the same behavior in 10.2B. Most of the tables starting with 'a' don't get automatically selected when I type their names. The one exception is 'ap-stat'. Very strange, but apparently this is an old bug.
The error when you type a full table name looks like a new bug.
Interesting. I can't imagine not noticing that in 10.2 - I was using it for 8+ years (and earlier versions for 24 years now).
ap-stat works for me too.
Strangely, agree-hist works if typed out in full (it doesn't follow along as I type), and then when you go back in and "agree-hist" is still at the top, you can back arrow and remove the "-hist" and now "agree" works. Same when I view addr-val and then go back and change it to just addr.
Checking my other "a" tables, the "attend" table works as well.
Also, if I use the RECALL key (CTRL-R), which displays the metaschema tables, then "agree" starts working again.
There appears to be a sequence of actions that allows it to work, but initially it does not.
Where is the best place to report this?
You can report it to Tech Support, either online or by calling. To set expectations, this will be a low priority issue and may not be fixed soon, if ever.
Yeah, I kind of figured as much.
Thanks for the help and reassuring me that I'm not crazy!
