Edmund,
I also can reproduce the problem with RDi 9.5.1.1 following these steps:
1. Started RDi 9.5.1.1.
2. Pressed Crtl+Alt+Q to opened member 1 in edit mode.
3. Pressed Ctrl-F, see last search arguments (= foo), "Wrap" and "Select found text" are checked.
4. Pressed Esc to cancel search.
5. Pressed Crtl+Alt+Q to opened member 2 in edit mode.
6. Pressed Ctrl-F, see last search arguments (= foo), "Wrap" and "Select found text" are checked.
7. Pressed Esc to cancel search.
8. Pressed Crtl-F6 to get back to member 1.
9. Went to the first position of line 26 and pressed Shift+Down to select the entire line.
10. Pressed Ctrl+C to copy the entire line to the clipboard. Line is still selected.
11. Pressed Ctrl+F6 to go to member 2.
12. Pressed Ctrl-V on line 1, position 1 to insert the line that I copied from member 1.
13. Line is inserted as first line of the source.
14. Pressed Ctrl-F. Although nothing is selected, the search argument is populated with that line and "Restrict search to selection" is checked.
It is even easier with these steps:
1. Started RDi 9.5.1.1.
2. Pressed Crtl+Alt+Q to opened member 1 in edit mode.
3. Pressed Crtl+Alt+Q to opened member 2 in edit mode.
4. Nothing is selected in both members, now.
5. Pressed Ctrl+F6 to go to member 1.
6. Selected an entire line in member 1.
7. Pressed Ctrl+F6 to go to member 2.
8. Pressed Ctrl+F. The search argument is populated with the selection of member 1.
9. Pressed Esc to cancel search.
10. Pressed Ctrl+F6 to go to member 1.
11. Changed selection to another entire line.
12. Pressed Ctrl+F6 to go to member 2.
13. Pressed Ctrl+F. The search argument is populated with the new selection of member 1.
So from my point of view, the "Restrict search to selection" option is checked when an entire line is selected in any open Lpex editor.
To prove that I did another test:
1. Pressed Crtl+Alt+Q (3 times) to open 3 members in browse mode.
2. Clicked the tab of member 1.
3. Selected entire line 10.
4. Clicked the tab of member 2. Nothing yet selected.
5. Clicked the tab of member 1. Line 10 still selected.
6. Clicked the tab of member 2.
7. Selected entire line 15 of member 2.
8. Clicked the tab of member 1. Surprise: line 10 is no longer selected!
9. Clicked the tab of member 2. Line 15 still selected.
10. Clicked the tab of member 3.
11. Selected entire line 20 of member 3.
12. Clicked the tab of member 2. Line 15 is no longer selected!
13. Clicked the tab of member 3. Line 20 still selected.
From my point of view that clearly indicates, that line selection does not work for individual members. There is only one selection for all members. By the way that is not only tied to line selection but also to character selection.
It is very easy to track the selection when you arrange all 3 members side by side. When you select something in member 1, you get a blue selection. When you click on member 2, the blue selection of member 1 is still there. Now select something in member 2 and the selection in member 1 vanishes.
The problem of "Restrict search to selection" is tied to a line selection!
Thomas.

Hi Greg
My team is having difficulty reproducing this scenario from the description here. You will do us all a service, if you open a PMR so that we can have the detailed conversation to get it fixed.

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

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?
Greg
