Search Results/Jump Next (F4) 'At End of List' wrongly

Post by woho »

Hello together

sometimes when I use 'F4' for jumping to the next search result I get an status line message 'At End of List' although the cursor is in midst of the search result window (and Textpad does not jump to the file/line where the cursor stands in the search result window)

Usually I use Version 5.2.0/German language
To see the menu/status line words in english I switched language and with the same workspace it did not happen. (with German it is not always reproduceable either !)

I wondered whether it could have to do with
- having more than 1 workspaces open at the same time
(preferences/'allow multiple instances to run' NOT checked, but opened with textpad.exe -m)
- or with the long search result window (> 30.000 lines when I noted this behaviour)
but this is not the case

Never had this bug in Textpad 4.7.3/German and prior versions

I LOVE the Search Results window, especially as I am heavy user of RegExpr

Anyone else who experienced this ?
Any ideas whats wrong ?

regards
Wolfgang

I have encountered the same (or a very similar) problem with TextPad 5.2.0 on Vista. In my case I am running thru a list of error messages in the Tool Output window. F4 only jumps to the first message in the list. However, if I double click an any message it works correctly and jumps to the correct source line.

hi
that's true also for my problem
even when F4 does not bring me to the next search result (line in search window) it is always possible to go to the correct file/line by doubleclicking on the next entry in the search window
thanks for the input

Close workspace/open again

Post by woho »

had 2 workspaces open when again the problem occured in workspace 1
(<F4> => 'At End of List' in Status Line although inmidst of search result window, doubleclick on serch result window line works correctly: jump to correct file/line)

Close 2nd workspace => problem still persists
Close 1st workspace
Open TextPad (Preferences: [X] 'Reload last workspace at startup')

=> <F4> brings me to next search result

strange behaviour, never occured in TP 4.7.3 + earlier
very annoying as I use Search Result Window a lot

PS: TextPad 5.3.1 on WinXP SP3
