Bug: backwards find&replace

[Wim]

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test is
BEGIN
  dbms_output.put_line('This is a test');

    -- cursor positioned on this line

  dbms_output.put_line('This is the end of the test');
END test;

Ctrl-F (Find&Replace), 'This is' to be replaced with 'This is not', backward direction.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test is
BEGIN
  dbms_output.put_line('This is not not not not not a test');

    -- cursor positioned up here --^

  dbms_output.put_line('This is the end of the test');
END test;

Not the result I was hoping for

On top of that the cursor position shifted, which is not the behaviour I want my IDE to have when I ask for a 'Find&Replace'.

Same context, different bug. The program hangs now though.

Cursor position at '1:1', meaning at the beginning of the code and then doing a backward Find&Replace will make PSD crash.

I can imagine it counting backwards from that position and ending up at -365468431:-265491354635464831651 etc

Yeah sure, I should not be so stupid as to go backwards from that position but the F&R dialog had saved that particular option from the last time I used it, so ..
Maybe a 'Continue from the beginning?' and similar dialogs could pop up (like MS Word and other software does).

Oh yes, I'm on the 7.1.5.1397 version in case you're wondering.

This has been fixed for 8.0.

CREATE OR REPLACE PROCEDURE test is
BEGIN
  dbms_output.put_line('This is not a test');

    -- cursor positioned on this line

  dbms_output.put_line('This is not the end of the test');
END test;

Bugfix confirmed BUT it now changes all instances of the 'This is' search pattern. (Also when I perform a forward Find&Replace.) It should not do that unless I specificly ask it to.

I would also still like to keep my cursor at the position where it was when I initiated the Find&Replace.

That is indeed a new 8.0 bug. We'll fix it.
