I don't buy that...

I've recreated it at will. This ONLY seems to happen when I do the
following:

1. Select a row of text CTRL-C
2. Go to a different source member, CTRL-V to paste (usually an entire

row

of code)

At this point in the source member where I did the paste, NOTHING is
highlighted, selected or otherwise marked.

Now, when I press CTRL-F, the find dialog comes up with the ENTIRE LINE

in

the "Find" text.... AND the "Restrict search to selection"
checked/selected.

There is NOTHING selected!!!

I guess I could buy into the copied text showing up in the "Find"... but
NOT the checkbox. That is useless to search the selection when nothing

is

selected.

I see much the same thing -- though not quite. Here are the steps
I went through to reproduce the "Restrict search to selection" problem
(this one has bugged me in the past but I have just learned that I have to
check for it).

1. Open two different source members in edit mode
2. Go to second tab and confirm that Ctrl-F does not show the "Restrict
search to selection as checked then close the Ctrl-F popup
3. Go to first tab, highlight a line of text and press Ctrl-C
4. Go back to second tab and confirm that Ctrl-F now shows the "Restrict
search to selection" as checked even though no text is highlighted in the
second tab

The part that didn't happen to me is that the text I copied did
not appear in the Find box and I could successfully paste the copied text,
via Ctrl-V, anywhere I wanted. I may have missed some posts that
explained the environment further. Sorry, if that is the case. But, what
I have seen is that if the Find popup is left open in one tab then that
same Find text will usually also show up when opening the Find popup in a
different tab -- which may be "as designed" and I have even learned to
depend upon that feature.

Sincerely,
