8.1.2: binary mode: \xFF also matches \x9F

When viewing a file in binary mode and searching for the character \xFF I also get matches for the character \x9F. This doesn't make sense.
TextPad 8.1.2x64 on Windows 7x64.

TextPad is treating the file contents as if it's text in Windows-1252 encoding, in which \xFF is ÿ (Latin small letter y with diaeresis) and \x9F is Ÿ (Latin capital letter Y with diaeresis).
If you don't want that behaviour, select Match case.

That makes perfect sense and works as intended. Thanks!
