[oXygen-user] v 6.0: Find misbehaves

Hi all,
Running Oxygen 6.0, build 2005051612.
Sometimes, Find works perfectly: I type a string in the "Text to find" 
field and press Enter, and the window scrolls to where an occurrence of 
the string is, and the found string is highlighted.
Other times, when I press Enter, I only get the Find: Search Completed 
[OK] dialog, implying that the search string is nowhere in the file... 
even though it's right there before my eyes (and after where the cursor is).
Still other times, I get both: the "Find: Search Completed [OK]" dialog, 
and then half a second later, it scrolls down and highlights an occurrence.

It's gotten to the point where, if I search for something and don't find 
it, I can't be certain it's not there. I either look for it by eyeball, 
or have to open a different editor.


On a related note, if I go to the Find dialog and type a string that 
isn't in the file, and press Enter, of course I get the "Find: Search 
Completed [OK]" dialog; but when I press Enter again to close the latter 
dialog, it closes and immediately pops up again. (But only once, not 
repeatedly.)

Regards,
Lars
