macOS build of the VibeServer receiver app. Also on the Pi and other Linux boxes via sudo apt upgrade (apt.vibesdr.net), same version.

The search results on the frequency card were unusable. The top of the list was cut off against the top of the card, and trying to scroll up to the rows hidden behind that edge made the list snap shut instead.

Two separate causes, neither of them the size of the list:

  • the results floated upward out of the frequency card, and that card clips anything that leaves it — so those rows were drawn outside it and could not be reached at all;
  • touching the list took focus off the search box, and losing focus is what closed it. So the act of scrolling closed the thing being scrolled.

The results now sit below the search box and the card scrolls to show them, which is also where the phone app puts them. A broad search returns the same number of matches the app does, rather than stopping at the first 40.

The frequency box follows the radio. Tuning from the search list left it showing the frequency you came from — 96.600 while the receiver was on 93.000. It was filled once when the card opened and never again, which only started to matter now that the list stays put and you work down it. It is never overwritten while you are typing in it.

The list also survives the station you just tried. A search for one broadcaster on shortwave returns many frequencies and most are inaudible from any given place at any given hour. The results stay for 90 seconds after you tune one, with the clock restarting each time you come back, so a long hunt never expires part-way through.

Nothing else about the receiver changes.

Unzip and drag VibeServer.app to Applications. It is not notarised, so the first launch needs right-click → Open.
