This is a bug, which occurs because this query is invalid: as you have
enclosed the two words between quotes ("), foxTrot expects at least a
third word, or a second group of quoted words, to be found in the given
distance of this quoted string.

Your original query is correct: ["legitimate grievance" person] would
find either [legitimate grievance {xxx} person] or [person {xxx}
legitimate grievance], with {xxx} being any text containing at most 10
words.

Thanks for the report
