Have others encountered freezing of the filtering function when looking at the various components? I have noted that with every project that I have created (often just one page projects), the filtering function freezes up requiring me to close the project and then reopen. It is not consistent, but makes using the feature frustrating. In the example, when clicking on the “Favorites” filter link, nothing happens, in yet I had been clicking on the various categories without problems.

I’d say don’t use that, for now just use the search at the bottom of the component list:

The Catalogue feature you’re currently using will be getting an overhaul as it will be part of the new store feature soon…

Thanks again. I didn’t even see that search feature below.

This is still broken. @dan Any idea when it will be fixed?

I purchased Elements yesterday and ran into this issue today (and reported to support).

Having to come to the forum and find this thread months later with the instructions to use the search at the bottom doesn’t fill me with confidence.

Just sayin’.
