New submission from Sarah: In Windows, the 'find' and 'replace' dialogs do not work properly on text that has been commented out using quotation marks.
More specifically, the dialog *finds* the text in question, however, it does not *highlight* it. Without the highlighting, a user can't see which text has been found. Since the whole point of the find function is to show the user where the text is located, this is a bug. Credit for the fix goes to Roger Serwy, who suggested raising the hit tag. My patch uses the show_hit function from patch 17511*. I have included the show_hit function, but not the rest of patch 17511. Are there guidelines for submitting patches that utilize elements of other patches? *show_hit is originally from the ReplaceDialog. 17511 added it to SearchDialog ---------- components: IDLE, Windows files: SearchDialogPatch.patch keywords: patch messages: 193895 nosy: Sarah priority: normal severity: normal status: open title: 'Search' and 'Replace' dialogs don't work on quoted text in Windows type: behavior versions: Python 2.7 Added file: http://bugs.python.org/file31077/SearchDialogPatch.patch _______________________________________ Python tracker <rep...@bugs.python.org> <http://bugs.python.org/issue18590> _______________________________________ _______________________________________________ Python-bugs-list mailing list Unsubscribe: http://mail.python.org/mailman/options/python-bugs-list/archive%40mail-archive.com
