Hi.
I see that the find dialog have gotten a cyclic option (on by default).
This is very nice.
But "Match cyclic" is working kind of counterintuitive:
Example
I enter same word "this" a couple of times in the text in the editor,
then I place the cursor after last occurence of "this" in the text, but
not at end of the text though..
Then I click the Find button in the toolbar.
Then I enter the word "this" in the "Find what" in the "Find and Replace"
dialog.
Then I click the blue Find button in "Find and Replace" dialog.
Then I'm presented with the message:
"The specified text was not found"
This gives me the impression that the whole text was searched and that the
word was not found.
But in this case it was not so.
The search routine has in the example above only searched from my cursor
position and to end of text, but did not search in text above my cursor
position.
If I click the Blue find button again after the message "The specified
text was not found" was given, then it continues to search from top of
document... and now it find the text I'm searching for.
As it is now, for an inexperienced user or an experienced superuser (under
stress) can easily belive that message.
Suggestion:
If the cursor is not placed at beginning of text when clicking Find button
in the toolbar, then I suggest that the message "The specified text was
not found" should not be displayed before the '''whole''' document has
been searched.
If you cannot implement this, then hopefully you can give a more correct
message to the user.
E.g.
"You have searched to the end of the document. The whole document has not
been searched. Do you want to continue the search from top of the
document?
If user then answer Yes, then I suggest the search automatically continues
so user does not have to click the blue find button in dialog again to
continue the search.
Or something like that.
I posted this as a bug, since the message given is not correct.
(kind of buggy)
That said. This editor rocks.
Keep up the good work.
Regards
