Hi,

I have confirmed with the Old version of RDI 9.0.1, this did work as every other Editor on the planet. To automatically put the highlight field in the Ctrl+F find text box.

I am also pretty sure it was working in RDI 9.1, before I upgrade to RDI 9.1.1...
Because I had sent an email to co-worker about RDi 9.1 over RDi 9.0...
And he said he was going to upgrade for that the Ctrl+F to work like other editors...

Is there a way to ROLL-BACK the "Supposed-Fix" of the RDI 9.1.1, and go back to the working version of RDi 9.1?

The Bread & Butter editor functions HAVE TO work over the "FLUFF", but nice other things...

PS. It seems to me, that we have to re-test on every new release? What a pain!!!

Before this mod, when one did a Find... the default would be to bring up whatever the last search string was. Perfect! But alas, no more. Now if you have nothing selected and do a Find,
