Search is unreliable

Post by mbb »

Hi!

I just found out the search feature of Textmaker NX isn't reliable. It often reports not finding text which is present on the document.

I attach a video recording showing this bug. This behaviour is not seen in Textmaker 2021.

Thanks,

After a second test, I can see it finds all occurrences, but it doesn't cycle through all of them if "search" is continually pressed. That is, all occurrences appear below the button "search" and any one of them can be selected from that list, but pressing the "search" button repeatedly skips some of them.

I have noticed this behavior too. Is specially common with long documents. It also affects Search and Replace.

Ok, I found a file I can send, where this happens. I will also attach a video showing this behaviour in that file.
