Bug: Textpad's Find in Files dialog box

Description: When you are using the Find in Files dialog to do a lengthy search and you replace the text string in the "Find what" box before the search terminates, the pop-up message reporting that the search completed will display the new string you entered rather than the string searched for.

Steps to reproduce:
1) Bring up the Find in Files dialog and start a search for string such as 'abbba',
2) While the search proceeds, replace the search string with an alternative string 'cccbbr'
3) Note that when the search finishes, instead of the following dialog appearing:

---------------------------
TextPad
---------------------------
Cannot find literal string:
'abbba'
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

Even though you didn't search on this string, you get:

---------------------------
TextPad
---------------------------
Cannot find literal string:
'cccbbr'
---------------------------
OK
---------------------------

That doesn't sound like a very serious bug :-)

Gives Helios something to put in their release notes though.

Absolutely, this is a minor bug. Textpad shouldn't have any bugs in it though, right?
