Find operation returns matches for deleted items

After deleting some alarms from a Citect 2018R2 update 07 system (including deleting various alarm records, variable tags, labels, Cicode file updates and removing genie instances from Pages) I then ran a 'Find' on one of the deleted alarm references to ensure I'd not missed anything.

But instead if getting the expected '0 matches' result the 'Find' produced multiple hits for the deleted alarm reference, all of which with 'Item' and 'Location' columns blank in the Find results window. So double-clicking on any of them (or clicking Go To button) has no effect. All of the matches were with 'Graphics' checked under Search options, if Graphics is un-checked then no matches are found.

I've now tried Packing the project, performing Update Pages on the project, and even (as a test) deleting the applicable Page and trying again. None of these things have resolved the issue.

Are the matches being detected in the pgdynobj.DBF file?

Has anyone else seen this before and can anybody suggest how it can be resolved?

Thanks

  • Yes I have also raised it formally with support. As I said I tried Packing Libraries (for Active project and for Active project and included projects) but that doesn't help.

    This isn't causing us any issues at runtime (none that we know of anyway!) and we compile with 0 warnings, so I would say it's a low priority issue. It just begs the question, how many other items have we deleted that also have this problem?

    I think I'll now wait to see what the advice from support is.
