Item6201: TOPICLIST variable only works for current web

I cannot make the TOPICLIST variable display a list of topics in any web other than the current web.

Leaving the WEB paramater out works fine, as does

<select>%TOPICLIST{" <option $marker value='$web.$name'>$web.$name</option>" web="%WEB%" separator=" " selection="%HOMETOPIC%"}%</select>

The above retrieves the list of topics for the current web.

But this does not work:

<select>%TOPICLIST{" <option $marker value='$web.$name'>$web.$name</option>" web="FrontOffice" separator=" " selection="%HOMETOPIC%"}%</select>

I get an empty select box.

I've also tried removing the SELECT from the equation, and TOPICLIST still behaves the same.

Ideally I would like to use this with a URLPARAM

Does the FrontOffice web has a NOSEARCHALL preferences setting set to on? That would explain why you do not get any result.

Verified on 4.3.0, 4.2.1 and 4.2.3 codebase. the %TOPICLIST% for web="different web" works very well. I am closing the bug.
