Problem with dependent lookup fields in "Search Filter Fields"

In "Search Filter Fields", when using lookup field where value selection is dependent on the value of another field, the pop-window for dependent field doesn't show up when the lookup icon/button is clicked.

 

For example:

  1. I have an object called Trademark__c (with fields: Name, Code__c)
  2. Then I have another object called Flavor__c (with fields: Name, Code__c, TM__c). TM__c in this case is a lookup to Trademark__c object.
  3. Now I have another object called Request__c. This object has two fields called Trademark__c and Flavor__c. Trademark__c is a lookup field (to Trademark__c object), and Flavor__c is also a lookup field (to Flavor__c object). Now there's a filter in the definition of Flavor__c field that the records it will return/show are those only related to selected (value) of Trademark__c.

1, 2, and 3 are fine.

 

Now in the "Search Filter Fields" of Request__c object, I would define Trademark__c and Flavor__c as filter fields. When I do global search, in the results for Request__c, there's an area where I could further filter the results. I can click the Trademark__c lookup icon just fine. But the Flavor__c lookup icon doesn't work when I click on it.

 

When I click in the non-working lookup icon, I can see the following message goes out of Chrome's JS console:

Uncaught TypeError: Cannot read property 'lookupControllerIds' of undefined main.js:696
DetailPage.getReferredDomIds main.js:696
(anonymous function)

 In IE8:

  In Firefox, I get:

Error: TypeError: this.getFieldById(...) is undefined

Tried in different orgs, and got the same result.

 

How to solve this?
