Yes, with FM 7 / 7.2, but luckily without any disaster that I know of, thank God. I ususally start with Find, and as FM defaults to book, if the book is open, I sometimes get stuck for a while while FM opens and closes maybe hundreds of files before I am allowed to do anything.
I would call this a bug, not a feature, because if the default was the open file, it would oftentimes only take a fraction of the time it > takes for Find or Replace to browse through the whole book. :-( Something > lacking in structuring of the layout of the feature. IMHO, the programmers > seem not to have taken human behaviour sufficiently into consideration. A very dangerous feature, indeed.
