[oXygen-user] v 6.0: Find misbehaves

[Sorin Ristache]

Dear Lars Huttar,

I tried <oXygen/> 6.0 build 2005051612 on Windows XP SP 2, Mac OS X 
10.4.1 Tiger and Linux Mandrake 10 but I could not reproduce any part of 
the reported random misbehavior of the Find/Replace dialog. Please 
specify if you are using a custom look and feel installed in <oXygen/>.

In order to find what could cause the misbehavior on your machine please 
copy the attached file to the [oXygen-installed-dir]/lib directory, 
restart <oXygen/>, repeat the steps that lead to the bugs and reply with 
the oxygen.log file generated in the [oXygen-installed-dir] directory.

Also see the remarks below.

Please make sure the find criteria set by the checkboxes and radio 
buttons allow the find match that you think <oXygen/> is missing. For 
example if the search is backward and with no wrap around you will never 
get a find match after the current caret position.

With only one push of the ENTER key ? It is strange but maybe the log 
file will help us to debug it.

The "Find: Search Completed [OK]" dialog pops up again after closing it 
with ENTER only when the search returns no match or it happens every 
time when this dialog is displayed ?
