Quirky highlighting of selected morph codes in morphological search

David Novick

While performing a Gramcord morphology search, I noticed that the highlighting of selected morph terms in the popup menu is a bit quirky. When I deselect a value, it remains highlighted, although its value is (correctly) removed from text box with the search criteria. Here's an example:

1. Enter: lemma:maqhths@
2. Click on Noun (Search criteria = lemma:maqhths@N, Noun is highlighted in gray)
3. Click on Feminine (Search criteria = lemma:maqhths@NF, Feminine is now highlighted in blue)
4. Click on Masculine (Search criteria = lemma:maqhths@N[FM]),Feminine is highlighted in gray, Male in blue)
5. Click on Feminine (Search criteria = lemma:maqhths@NM, Feminine is highlighted in blue, Mail in gray)

The fact that deselecting Feminine leaves the word "Feminine" highlighted until one clicks out/in of the search box is confusing. It seems like "Feminine" should be deselcted.

Thanks Dave; since it does remove 'F' from the query, it makes sense for the highlighting on  Feminine to be removed as well. I'll report it.
