As of version 10, BBEdit has begun changing my find-and-replaces under certain circumstances. (Same in 10.0.01.) It's an incredibly frustrating experience, not least because it's different than what BBEdit has done for more than a decade.
Here's what happens: I have two documents, A and B. I want to search for a string in A and replace it with a string from B. Both documents are open and side by side. I go to B, I highlight the string I want to replace with, copy it, and then hit command-F to bring up the Find window. I paste the string copied from B into the "Replace" field of the Find window. Then I go to document A, I copy the string I want to find for replacing, and then click on the Find window in order to paste it into the "Find" field. At the moment I click in the "Find" window, what I have already pasted in the "Replace" field disappears, reverting to what was last searched for. This is 100% duplicable. Every time. All the time. Regardless of what I do. What is happening here? I have scoured the prefs and the user manual to no avail. I cannot for the life of me tell why this is happening. The only solution is to type out the strings, no matter how long and complicated. How utterly frustrating. Running Mac OS X 10.7.1, 4GB RAM, lots of free drive space. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the "BBEdit Talk" discussion group on Google Groups.
