Bug in the Find feature

needhelpplz · Post by **needhelpplz** » Tue Nov 18, 2003 7:22 pm

Could someone please verify this "bug"

1) open TextPad
2) open 2 or more text files (don't care what is in them so long is there is some text) containing multiple lines. Say 50 or so... just so that there are scroll bars.
3) select one of the documents then press F5 to bring up the search window.
4) search for text that you know is in one of the non-selected documents and be sure that "in all documents" is selected.

it "should" bring up the current file and the location where the match was found. i.e. bring you to the match.... right?

This doesn't always seem to be the case. Seems to work some times, and other's it doesn't.

Didn't find an answer by searching the help documents or the forums.

Any help appreciated.

Thank you in advance

I can confirm this behaviour. But according to the help file it seems to me that it is "by design":

Checking "in all documents" causes the search operation to be executed parallel in all documents. If you tile the open document windows horizontally or vertically you'd see better how this option works.
