Find & Replace: Issues

[Roeland]

1) Wrong replace when searching Backward:
- Scope: Selection
- Text to Find: x
- Replace with: Test

or (new.x <> old.x or (new.x is null and old.x is not null) or (new.x is not null and old.x is null))
  or (new.x <> old.x or (new.x is null and old.x is not null) or (new.x is not null and old.x is null))
  or (new.x <> old.x or (new.x is null and old.x is not null) or (new.x is not null and old.x is null))

Now select the second row. Press "Replace"

Result: The whole selection is replaced by "Test", not just x.

2) Direction changes back from Backward to Forward when pressing "Replace All".

Replace will indeed replace the current selection by the replacement text. If you want to replace occurrences of x by test within the selection, set the scope to "Selection" (this is the default when you have made a selection) and use the "Replace All" or "Search Next" and "Replace" buttons.
