Server Browser Filter Problem

Hello. I'm having a problem with the server browser filtering, more specifically the 'game' filter box.

My problem is a couple of days ago I typed in some words to search for in the filter box, but later I couldn't erase that which was typed in. Now the text is still there uneraseable. I can however add letters and symbols next to the words and erase those letters but I can never erase it all.

A screenshot of my filter boxes and an empty server browser list:
<span style='color:#000000;background:#000000'><a href="http://gyazo.com/d13aa2de4a50826f0f141f1ed9fbb990.png?1351784684" target="_blank">http://gyazo.com/d13aa2de4a50826f0f141f1ed....png?1351784684</a></span>
<!--sizeo:1--><span style="font-size:8pt;line-height:100%"><!--/sizeo--><i>Can't delete the "UWE officia'?"</i><!--sizec--></span><!--/sizec-->

I suspect that it shows no servers because they all get filtered away since none of them fits what is typed into the game filter box.


How it happened:

- Simply typed some info into the filter box
- Pressed the refresh button
- Tried to erase what I had typed in but couldn't erase it


What I've tried to fix the problem:

- Deleting content of cache folder
- Deleting local content through steam and redownload/reinstall the game
- Checking integrity of game files
- Making sure I don't have a problem with simply viewing servers on the list (solutions for the 'Can't see any servers' problem)


If anyone have an idea on what might cause this problem please tell. Best regards.

P.s. In the build 224 notes I found this 'Game mode in server browser filter options is now default empty and will be stored' . Does this mean that information for the filter boxes is stored somewhere and the content should be default empty but I might have somehow overwritten the information so it default says "UWE officia'?". Still can't erase it though.

    Hi,

    You need to open this file:

    <drive>\Program Files (x86)\Steam\userdata\<userid>\4920\remote\options.xml

    And change the key <filter_gamemode>. Make it blank: <filter_gamemode></filter_gamemode>
