Hi anil I’m using it to find activities and variables in the main process sequence in a UiPath studio project flow chart.

I guess it’s a fairly standard usage of Ctrl f but it’s causing a crash. Would screenshots help?

@steved

  1. Is it happening for every project ? Or only for any specific project?
  2. Does the project have more xamls and is it huge?
  3. If we use the find option in the top ribbon even then the task is cancelled?
  4. Please confirm the studio version and which compatibility is being used

If its happening only to a specific project then is it possible to attach the project here

Cheers

I have the same issue as Steve. The problem occurs when doing a Universal search with <Ctrl+f>. Sometimes there’s no problem but now and again I also get the “Task canceled” error. After the error the whole project is closed.

@Anil_G

  1. It is happening in every Windows project
  2. Both in big and small projects
  3. Which find option in the top ribbon? Do you mean the ribbon that appears after <Ctrl+f>. If so, yeah this is where the problem occurs after or during typing the string you search for.

  4. My studio version is 2023.4.4 and the project is Vb, Windows

In the Legacy projects this problem doesn’t occur.
