1) In the old inventory management screen when you highlighted an item after a find and then hit clear, the highlight stayed on the item you had previously selected. Now the highlight blanks when the close box is clicked, making keeping track of the item you were searching for inventory much harder.

2) There should be an option to ignore the library and Trash in the inventory. These contain items experience players don't care to refer to.

I COMPLETELY agree with this. While I appreciate the features of the new system, after hitting clear as spoken in the previous post the items are no longer highlighted. There's some additional things.

1) In the past, when you searched for an item in your inventory by name, strictly items carrying part of the name you typed would show in the inventory. Upon closing the search you could remain in the folder for the current item you found.

Now when you search for the name of an item, ALL folders still show up. I find myself hunting for the very item I wanted to search for. The search is proving not to be a time saver, but almost the same as not having a search field at all.

2) Another frustration which has not been addressed is the fact that once you drag-n-drop an item from a particular folder to a person/object, the inventory scrolls right back to the top of the inventory list. Causing the user to be forced to search once more for the item.

The inventory is in dire need of improvements. The fact that sometimes your items load in your inventory and sometimes don't is frustration enough.

I too am having serious inventory issues. Im finding in some cases even when i type in the full name of something I am searching for, its not finding the item. In other cases, its like Red has described. The inventory shows every folder and then I have to scroll through it all until I find the item in question.

Although I can see some benefit to the "recent inventory" area, I for one, would just like my old inventory back for its search features and ease of use.

If it's showing every folder, do this:
Open Filters
Uncheck "Show All Folders"

It'll be fixed in the next update that that option will be off by default (check the Current Version Feedback forums).
