Hi Christopher, I had made a bunch of changes to VirtualT in January / February and then got pulled away with client work again. If I remember correctly, I had added an icon toolbar to the IDE to allow quick access to features like Open, Save, Compile, etc., but was still debugging some window focus issues with the "Find" feature in that toolbar.
The quick find feature has an edit field in the toolbar with a drop down list. If you type something in the edit field and hit enter, it finds it in the edit window with no problem and also adds it to the drop down list. But if you select a previously entered item from the drop down list, for whatever reason, I am unable to convince FLTK (the GUI package) to change the focus back to the edit window. So while the search successfully finds the text, nothing is visibly highlighted because FLTK doesn't believe the edit field is in focus. I could release the Linux and Windows version of VirtualtT 1.7 today as long as everyone understands that it has this issue.
