EndNote Bug (minor, but I believe genuine)

Start a search of an EndNote library (in my case, using a MacBook
running Tiger) by hitting cmd-F . The default Search dialog box will
have three search fields. You can enter search terms in these three
fields by keying in term1 TAB term2 TAB term3. Hitting TAB after
entering term 3 does nothing further (not visibly, anyway).
Using the Option button and the Add Field button, you can add more
fields -- say three more fields, for example.
If you do this and type term1 TAB term2 TAB term3 TAB term4 TAB
term5 TAB term6, you end up with terms 1, 2 and 3 in fields 1, 2 and 3;
you find "term4term5term6" conflated in field 4; and nothing in fields 5
or 6.
If, following the typing of term4, you skip the TAB and instead _click_
in field 5, term5 goes into field 5, and things go as intended from then
on.
If someone wants to report this bug to Thomson (after maybe reproducing
it), be my guest. I'm too busy -- or is it lazy -- to report still
another Mac bug in EndNote.
[And by the way, while composing this note, I just toggled from Eudora
to EndNote and opened the About EndNote dialog box to check that it was
Thomson who's the EndNote vendor. I then toggled back to Eudora -- and
the EndNote About box did NOT go away -- even after I clicked in the now
visible Eudora window. I had to dismiss it manually.
I just checked with two other superior quality Mac applications (Adobe
Acrobat and Safari): when I toggled from Eudora to them, opened their
About boxes, and toggled back to Eudora, they closed their About boxes.
Every other Mac application I can recall does similarly; EndNote
doesn't.]
