I’ve noticed a problem when using multiple topic selection AND search:

> **[Ionuț Staicu](https://ionutstaicu.com/)**

When scrolling and more posts are loaded, the selection is removed.

I can reproduce this. Search was previously limited to 50 results, which might explain what’s happening. It looks like the entire results list gets reloaded, not that new results are appended.

Right but selection was never intended to work that way. You can’t select all posts in a topic either which is on the 1.9 list to do.

Right, but at least show some warning that your selection is about to dissapear 🙂
