Description Marian Petras 2007-11-26 20:14:46 UTC

There are two search-related items in the Edit menu:

   Find...              (Ctrl+F)
   Find in Projects...  (Ctrl+Shift+F)

The latter one causes dialog "Find in Projects" to be opened.
The former one acts differently depending on context - if the editor is active, it activates the simple in-editor find
feature. If the editor is not active, it falls back to the "Find in Projects". Is this fall-back correct?

"Replace" is greyed out (disabled), if no tab in editor has focus.
Found in RC 2.

IMO, "Replace" and "Find" should work as similar.

Replace now works the same as Find.
