Just another observation about the find dialogue....
If I search for "short" words (three or four characters or fewer), the
highlighting seems to "stick" where it finds the word. For example, if I want
to find the word "version", I might just search for "ver", and then when that
string is found, the highlighting sticks there. For longer strings, like
"versi", the highlighting sticks less well (perhaps ~40% of the time on five
characters). For "version" or "Windows" or longer strings, the highlighting
quickly turns off, as in my original post.
I note that instructions for filing a bug are a little hard to find. Perhaps
I am just looking in the wrong places.
Best wishes,
C. O.

Subject: Find-and-replace highlighting turns off
Hi, all,
This is on a Debian box, running the latest v. 1.5.1 (compiled and installed
from source; non-qt frontend). When I open the search dialogue, it correctly
finds and highlights the characters I look for. However, about 90% of the time,
the highlighting quickly (within 1/2 second?) disappears, and the location of
the found word is lost. Perhaps 10% of the time (maybe less), the highlighting
"sticks" on the word it finds.
Any hints for me?
