Search results in middle of page

Hi all,
the "problem" is this: I often search multi-line regular expressions (\n).
When Textpad show the result, it positions the text it found at the bottom of the page, so I can see only the first 2-lines or so.
I'd like that Textpad positioned the text found at the top of the visible page, or at least at the center.

Note: Textpad grammar correction slows it a lot, it should be disabled by default. Even the auto line-wrap slows it a lot, A LOT! I have to disable it when I have to do a lot of substitutions, or I have delays of MINUTES!!!

Huh? Are you sure you have the right editor? I just dug through the TP site, my help file and preferences menu and I don't see a reference to a grammar corrector anywhere.

And I'm no regexp expert, but I thought from all I've read that TP doesn't do multi-line regular expressions (although Wild Edit has this functionality).

Textpad does multiline Regexes, but only if you put in the newline character (which can't be in any part of the expression under a quantifier).

So the multiline regex support in Textpad is very limited.

Sorry, I was referring to orthographic correction (Textpad 4.73).
