I (and my users) are experiencing an odd bug with the Web Client interface for ZCS 8.8.15_GA_4257 (build 20220324034943), where the search field in the top right defaults to the "Contacts" objects upon login rather than the "Mail" objects as I recall the interface used to.
We've been running 8.8.15 for a little while, so this change would have occurred only in the last few months after applying a patch, and I don't recall ever changing a setting that might have affected this.
See in the following screenshots how (after logging in) the interface defaults to searching my "Contacts", despite opening in to my mailbox.
If I select a folder in my mailbox, the search criteria will change appropriately, but the type will not.
Has anyone else experienced this behavior before? Is there an admin or per-user setting that controls this? Or is this a bug in the Web Client?

Re: Wrong Default Search Object on Login
I would suggest opening a Support Case with Zimbra for this.
FWIW I have experienced this after applying Patch 31.1, but it's intermittent and after the first time it happens it doesn't seem to happen again, so not possible to reproduce reliably.
Hope that helps,
Mark

Re: Wrong Default Search Object on Login
Thanks for the suggestion Mark. I just opened a Support Case.
Just in case anyone else was curious, these were my steps for reproducing the error fairly reliably.

- When I first log in to the web client (which defaults to starting on the Mail tab), the selected search objects are "Contacts", with search criteria that are correct for the select search objects.
- Selecting a folder in the mailbox modifies the search criteria, but does not change the search object type.
- Changing tabs (eg. Mail --> Contacts, or Mail --> Calendar, or Contacts --> Mail) changes the search object type correctly.
- Upon "logging out and logging back in" or doing a "hard refresh (ctrl-shift-R)", the browser page will reload and default to starting me on the Mail tab with the search object type again set to "Contacts".

Re: Wrong Default Search Object on Login
Did you get an answer from support?
This bug is related to the same as I have reported: viewtopic.php?f=15&t=70785
Not just the object type for the search, but further, the selected tab switches to "Contacts" for all users that have shared contact folders. Does not happen for those without shared contacts.
I opened a Support case and Zimbra said the fix was going to be in 8.8.15 Patch 32. I looked at implementing the raw code fix, but it does not seem to work.

Re: Wrong Default Search Object on Login
I just installed Patch 32 and rebooted my server and this issue STILL exists. Tried multiple browsers and users. Anyone with shared contacts still has this issue and also the CONTACTS tab gets selected immediately after login as I reported in my other post.saket.patel wrote:Fix has been released as part of 8.8.15 Patch 32, you can upgrade to it.
