Hi,

Did you clear the "Use Word at Cursor in Find/Replace Dialog Box" check box in the Search tab of the Customize dialog box (on the Tools menu > Customize)?

This is less of a bug, and more of a request to back off a feature change.

In previous versions of EmEditor, highlighting some text and hitting {Ctrl][F] (or [Search][Find]) would automatically copy the highlighted text into the Find input text box. That's good.

However, when no text is highlighted, launching the find dialog will still copy the text immediately after the cursor into the input box, where previous versions simply continued to include the search field from the last search performed.

Is there any possibility that we can return to the former behaviour, where if no text is selected/highlighted, invoking the search dialog will not copy the text immediately after the cursor's current location (or before the cursor if at the end of a line), but will instead display the last searched text. It's just something that impacts from a usability and efficiency perspective, and does not necessarily follow a consistent set of behaviours (e.g. if I highlight text, then copy it into the find dialog; if I don't highlight text, copy it into the find dialog anyway).

It's the small things in a tool like EmEditor that keeps me recommending it to friends and colleagues. Thanks.
