qui and que

I thought that you use "qui" if it's directly before a verb, e.g. ce qui fait peur and "que" the rest of the time, e.g. ce que je veux. So why is it ce qui lui manque.

Thanks

My second question on the test referred to Devonshire, which I assumed to be feminine. After taking the test, I found an explanation that all English countries ending in shire are masculine, but I don't believe it was mentioned in the material of the lesson before the test. If I'm correct that is was not explained beforehand, it doesn't seem like a good question.

‘Il trouvé que c’est une belle maison’

The lesson appears to focus on making a distinction between use of trouver (to find something) and trouver que (to think something). Yet in the examples the previously mentioned translation (post about a year ago) of the above remains 'he finds' not 'he thinks' and in a dashboard test today "Ils me trouvent charmant"and "Ils me trouvent que ...." were both given as being "they find me charming". Either there is a clear distinction between the 2 forms or there is not. At present the lesson quite clearly makes the case there is but the discordant examples and test answers are confusing. Edit required.
