Steps to reproduce:

  1. Open Widget Reflector
  2. Press Pick Widget
  3. Open any dropdown menu
  4. With your cursor over any item in the dropdown menu, press ESC
  5. All results in the Widget Reflector will turn into Null Widget

Did pressing escape close the drop down menu?

I imagine it did, which also destroys the widget you just picked, hence the null.

Yeah - it’s not a bug, though this same thing happens to me as well; I keep meaning to do something about it. The reflector should probably be smart enough to cache widget state to not null them out after the user hits escape. Somebody should improve the widget reflector and push it back to us on Github :smiley:

Yeah i knew what the cause was, i just thought you forgot to add an option to freeze the results :<

And it is a bug since you can’t scroll thru the reflector while your mouse is over the dropdown, rendering it useless.
