Dear Lars Huttar, I tried <oXygen/> 6.0 build 2005051612 on Windows XP SP 2, Mac OS X 10.4.1 Tiger and Linux Mandrake 10 but I could not reproduce any part of the reported random misbehavior of the Find/Replace dialog. Please specify if you are using a custom look and feel installed in <oXygen/>. In order to find what could cause the misbehavior on your machine please copy the attached file to the [oXygen-installed-dir]/lib directory, restart <oXygen/>, repeat the steps that lead to the bugs and reply with the oxygen.log file generated in the [oXygen-installed-dir] directory. Also see the remarks below. Lars Huttar wrote:
Hi all, Running Oxygen 6.0, build 2005051612. Sometimes, Find works perfectly: I type a string in the "Text to find" field and press Enter, and the window scrolls to where an occurrence of the string is, and the found string is highlighted. Other times, when I press Enter, I only get the Find: Search Completed [OK] dialog, implying that the search string is nowhere in the file... even though it's right there before my eyes (and after where the cursor is).
Please make sure the find criteria set by the checkboxes and radio buttons allow the find match that you think <oXygen/> is missing. For example if the search is backward and with no wrap around you will never get a find match after the current caret position.
Still other times, I get both: the "Find: Search Completed [OK]" dialog, and then half a second later, it scrolls down and highlights an occurrence.
With only one push of the ENTER key ? It is strange but maybe the log file will help us to debug it.
It's gotten to the point where, if I search for something and don't find it, I can't be certain it's not there. I either look for it by eyeball, or have to open a different editor.
On a related note, if I go to the Find dialog and type a string that isn't in the file, and press Enter, of course I get the "Find: Search Completed [OK]" dialog; but when I press Enter again to close the latter dialog, it closes and immediately pops up again. (But only once, not repeatedly.)
The "Find: Search Completed [OK]" dialog pops up again after closing it with ENTER only when the search returns no match or it happens every time when this dialog is displayed ?
Regards, Lars
