Yup, long time ago, I tried to open a PMR to get this "FIXED"...

And I was told it was working as designed.

Just like I would like SEU to show 100 lines, basically not possible....

It is just the nature of eclipse framework.

Pick a different battle...

Every other package on a find/Replace. Has two text boxes. And when you tab to the "REPLACE" text box, it high-lights the WHOLE replace text. Not so with Eclipse...

Plus you have to hit the Tab 4 times to get to the replace box. Way different from every other Replace option. Like NotePad, word, Notepad++, Visual Studio, IntelliJ, Visual Studio Code, etc....

Ctrl+H in other applications bring up the Find/Replace dialog. Not so in Eclipse.

It is just the way "Eclipse is designed". Sadly, it is a fight we cannot win. SURRENDER!

It is losing battle to complain about those things. So, I have been told numerous times...

We are stuck within the Eclipse Frame/work. Yuck!!!

PS. Not all of the eclipse frame work is bad. But the Find & Find/Replace do bother me...

Oh well, out of my control...

I'm afraid this is probably "working as designed". Quite annoying IMO.

Subject: [WDSCI-L] Search Issue

I use CTRL-F quite a bit to search within a member. Many times the search fails because the "Restrict search to selection" is (erroneously) selected. I've narrowed it down to occasions when I've selected text in another source member (tab) to paste or insert.

Has anyone else observed this behavior?
Is there a fix?
