10.0.5: Search in Report-Output doesn't work

[tseck]

I cannot search the output of reports. When pressing CTRL+F the standard search & replace dialogue pops up. No results are found after providing a searchstring and pressing the search button.

In prev. releases reports are searched with a different dialogue. Did you forget to implement this?

Ctrl-F will search the SQL Editor. To search in the HTML output, right-click on it and select "Find".

It'd be nice if PL/SQL Developer was able to pass keyboard events/messages to the report's HTML panel if it has focus. Not only for "Find" - I often use "Copy" and have the same problem (have to right-click the HTML panel).
There might be a tiny problem with the HTML panel (as it's probably a MS IE control) having different keyboard short cuts than the PL/SQL Developer but it's not an issue for me and probably also for most users.

Hi Marco,

i found out, that the "Find" menu item is only visible in context menu, if the internal html viewer is used. For years I configured not to use the internal viewer, as the MS IE controls offers a nice and often used "copy to excel" context menu option - but no find-function.

Before version 10 this was not an issue, ctrl+f shows a dialogue to search the output and yellow-highlights the found words. Why did you change this behaviour?

Thomas.
