--- Comment #2 from [email protected] --- Thanks for pointing out that pressing Enter works. However, it is not intuitive that Enter would work when Find Next and Find Previous are inactive and grayed out. Further, pressing Enter does search for the term in the find field. However, Find Next and Find Previous still remain inactive, even when the term in the find field was found. I also note that in the other search tool, Find and Replace (Ctrl+H), Find Next is active immediately, even if "nothing is found before", once even one character is entered in F&R's find field. This is the most user helpful functionality, and I recommend that the Find Bar follow this pattern. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
