I have found that almost everything in LPEX works differently.

Hello,
There were two RFEs open for enhancing the Find dialog:
RFE77455: Make ctrl-f function the same way in both block and stream
modes

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=77455

RFE77454: Change ctrl-f to function like eclipse find

http://www.ibm.com/developerworks/rfe/execute?use_case=viewRfe&CR_ID=77454

The implementation in RDi 9.5.0.3 only supports "Restrict search to
selection" with Block selection mode (Alt+R, Alt+L).
We have disabled the "Restrict search to selection" in stream selection
mode, because it is not yet supported and it was not supported in the
previous version either.

We understand that Stream mode is the more common and preferred way to
select text as you do not have to remember to press Alt+U.
If you would like to have the full support please vote for the "RFE77455:
Make ctrl-f function the same way in both block and stream modes".

Thanks,

Applied the latest update.

I see RFE77454 but I do not know what "like eclipse" means since I do not
use eclipse.

Used to be when I selected some text and pressed ctrl-f, I could check

the

"restrict search to selection" box to limit the subsequent "replace all"

that area. Now, the box is greyed out.

The find dialog seems to change with every update. Can someone explain
what "selection" means now and how I can effectively select text so that

can use that checkbox? I can find no description of the settings for
selecting text like "block" "stream" etc in the help, only that I should
select one or the other.

I did some more experimenting and found that if I select some text ON ONE
LINE only and not including the EOL, the checkbox is available (but

really

less than useful in that context). Selecting more than one line of text
makes the checkbox unavailable.

Using ALT-R to select a rectangle of text (of any size) enables the
checkbox and forces the checkbox to be checked. It is uncheckable. The
selected rectangle is persistent in this case.

I spose I could do all my selections with ALT-R but it's a pain to

remember

to ALT-U every time.
