Re: LPEX find - Restrict search to selection

1.- Ensure "Select found text" is not checked in the find/replace dialog.

2.- Select the text with a character / rectangle / element selection (I assume your default block type is "stream"). This can be accomplished with Alt+B / Alt+R / Alt+L respectively, or by right-clicking to bring up the pop-up menu > Select > choose appropriate selection type.

I am trying to find every occurrence of the Find string within the
selected text.
I highlight the text and do a find with the "Restrict search to
selection" box checked. It finds the first instance but it also
de-selects my block of text, so that subsequent finds return not found.

Is there any way around this?
