[WDSCI-L] Re: Problems with Find and Filter selected text

[adrian <stori@xxxxxxxxxx>]

Strange...

What version of the editor does the WDSCi installed on the particular 
machine have?  Enter version on the LPEX command line to check.

Is the user selecting text by dragging the mouse?  I think LPEX 1.4.3 
had an occasional problem with rectangle selections, fixed in iFix's 
1.4.3.1 update.

Ensure the live-find dialog (brought up with Ctrl+F) doesn't have the 
"Restrict search to columns" and "Restrict search to selection" boxes 
checked.

Also, as a general remark, for the filter functions one should not 
select extra spaces around the desired text.
