Description drking 2007-11-01 19:54:16 UTC 
\<. should find the first character of each word using Find All with regex. It 
works fine, unless the 'use current selection' check box is ticked - when it 
simply 'finds' the entire current selection. Same problem with .\>

Note that  s\>  and  \<s  work fine in current selection to find s at the 
beginning or end of words.

"Same problem with .\>"

Whoops - trying again this morning .\> seems to work OK.

The problem with \<. remains.

Reassigned to SBA.
Comment 3 drking 2007-11-03 07:02:28 UTC 
Found a new problem with \<s, maybe related:

In the highlighted sentence:

song ss ssong  sss sssong

it will Find All every s if 'current selection' is chosen (incorrect). 
If 'current selection' is not chosen, it correctly finds just the first s of 
each word.

This now makes me wonder if this is a duplicate of issue 77376 (trying to help).
