Re: RDP 9.1.1 Ctrl+F [Find / Replace] focus issue

Hello Mike,

When you say :
" After doing this I notice that rolling the mouse wheel will move the
content of the Find entry field in 9.1.1 but not in 8.0.3." ...

This is exactly what I was trying to say.

This is not a big issue, I only have to click on the source and change the
focus to the editor screen before rolling the mouse wheel and that will
solve the problem.

Thanks

I have been playing with RDP 8.0.3 and RDI 9.1.1 to try and reproduce this
and the behaviour for me with vanilla configurations is virtually the same.
While the Find dialog is open it has focus and will be receiving input, not
the edit window.

By "if you scroll up after the second search..." I am assuming that you
mean by grabbing the scroller at the side of the source and moving it with
the mouse? After doing this I notice that rolling the mouse wheel will
move the content of the Find entry field in 9.1.1 but not in 8.0.3. Now,
to me, and as I said earlier, the Find dialog still has focus,
specifically the Find entry field, so the 9.1.1 operation appears more
correct.

If you are not wishing to affect the content of the UI that has focus then
maybe click into the area where you wish to have effect.

Should this behaviour not be desirable then I would suggest opening an RFE.
My opinion would be that a solution to such an RFE could be to give focus
directly to the edit window when the slider is touched so that the Find
dialog is closed and then mouse wheel input will be directed to the edit
window.

Hi all,

We have recently move from 8.0.3 to 9.1.1 however we have some frustrating
changes with that new version.

One change has been made with the Find/Replace screen. When you press
Ctrl+F and type a word, it automatically select the first finding text
(wich is perfect) but if you decide to move your mouse cursor over the code
and scroll up or scroll down, the focus stay on the search area and you get
moved of the code to the new selected search criteria.

For example, you search for "chgvar" Enter,then you search for "endpgm". if
you scroll up after the second search, you get focus on the next "chgvar"
string on your code.

in the version 8.0.3, the source was scrolling up/down instead of the
search value.

Is someone know if it's possible to configure this setting? I search in the
preference/LPEX Editor/Find Text ... and I found nothing.

Also, I did some research on the net and I did not found this issue
anywhere. Am I the only one being frustrated with that "new feature" ?

Thanks
Karl
