I can reproduce it by double-clicking on a search term and using either the pulldown menu or the keyboard shortcut to initiate a "find next" command. The search term must not be equal to the previous search term. When the search fails, I get the failure beep, and that's when the RE checkbox seems to be turning off.
Using W7-64 version 7.2.0 (32b)
Ver 7.2.0 R.E checkbox in the find dialog keeps turning off!

If you select text within a single line and execute SearchFindNext (Search | Find Next or <Ctrl+F>), TextPad assumes you are searching for that literal text and clears the Regular expression check box. If you execute SearchFind to open the Find dialogue (Search | Find... or <F5>) the Regular expression check box retains its previous setting. I believe that TextPad has always behaved this way.
This is new behavior. I just tested it on 5.2.0 and it retains the RE checkbox setting. Can we get the old behavior back?ben_josephs wrote:If you select text within a single line and execute SearchFindNext (Search | Find Next or <Ctrl+F>), TextPad assumes you are searching for that literal text and clears the Regular expression check box.
