seriously, this was a feature and not a bug :)

i added this long ago in order to find selected text and press F3 to search for it, i find it very convenient ..

mandrav:
Sorry to say this, but this was a pretty annoying "feature".
If I want to change the search text, I press Ctrl+F not F3 ;)
C::B changing it behind the scenes, without me asking for it, has frustrated me one too many times. And I 'm not the only one...

killerbot:
I also am guilty : I also looked at it as not such a nice feature.
It is rather surprising that during your search, just by having something selected, your search suddenly changes. If you want to search on something "new", it is a .... "new search" ;-) -> ctrl+f

tiwag:
well i didnt want to annoy someone,
i'm using TextPad Editor since approx. 10 years and i copied the behaviour like Textpad does and found it pretty convenient.

killerbot:
LOL, TextPad.
I have a colleague at work who also uses TextPad, and each time I need to do something at his desk, I am swearing about the fact TextPad does not follow the normal (or semi-standard) way of searching.  :D
