Annoying "Replace All" Behavior (WeBuilder 7.2.0.6

Post by myitguy »

It would be nice if "Replace All" defaulted to actually replacing all, rather than just replacing all "From cursor". I would tend to think that "Replace All" implies that the entire document will be searched, and that having to choose "Entire scope" is an unnecessary step.

Hmm, its more of a 'niggle' than a bug. If you selected 'From top' and it ignored you, then it would be a bug... :wink:

Just found that there is a setting for this. Options -> Preferences -> Tools -> General -> "Always start search from beginning".
This works for Replace, too.

That's good to know, but that's still not quite what I was hoping for because it will change how Find function behaves as well. Although I suppose it's better than nothing.

Ideally it would work as I suggested in this post:
