Choose Component doesn't show obvious options when typing for specific glyph

See attached screenshots. I’m on Glyphs 3.0.4 (3100), so just let me know if this isn’t an issue in the latest version.

Let’s say I go to add a component to a glyph. I want to place the letter “A” as a component. If I type “A” to look up the component, “A” isn’t the first option but rather unicode or glyph names that have that letter in it. Anyone else having this issue?


It looks like your search is configured to search by Unicode value. Click the magnifying glass icon and choose All or Name.

@FlorianPircher Boom, that was it! Had no idea I could configure the search settings there—just learned something new.

Thanks so much!
