Honestly, I've not yet tried the uninstall-reinstall-upgrade as you suggested. However, I did find a related problem. When you're outside of the find dialog and trigger the "RegexSet" command, then you open the find dialog; if there happens to be a bogus regex command in it, you get the mo...

I don't understand what you want. Could you please explain a little more?

Nice find.

Still happening after a computer restart, in 7.0.9.

7.0.8 was privately given to me and some others who were experiencing a specific problem. What I said is correct. It happened in 7.0.8, and is WAS happening in 7.0.9...consistently up until right now. I can't reproduce it at the moment, which is the first time that it's NOT happening. I'll try it ag...

7.0.8.

I just upgraded to 7.0.9 and it still happens.

Happens consistently with me. Including after a computer-restart.



No one else?

If anyone gets a chance to try this, please let me know.

Try this: Type '\' (no quotes) into the find-dialog. Click regular expression. It's an invalid regex, because it's an unescaped escape character. Click find-next and you'll get an error. Now, leave the slash there and close the dialog. Select some text (within a single line), and re-open the dialog....

Thanks!

I am having a problem with dialogs. When I make TextPad really small, like very thin at the bottom of the screen, and then I open the find or replace or find in files dialogs, they ARE open (I can type a search term and press enter and they DO do the search), but I can't see the dialog. It far below...

ParaEnd and ParaStart, as well as ParaStartExtend and ParaEndExtend would be wonderful additions.

I use F3 for find, F4 for find-next, F2 for find-previous, F5 for replace, and shift+F5 for replace-next.

I also use shift+F2/F4 for find-prev/next, so I don't have to let go of the shift when running through multiple replacements, and want to skip some.
