Find and Replace

Unread post by John Johann »

Hi,
I had to do a find and replace throughout a small project with some 50 topics. The nature of the search term was such that I couldn't do a replace all, but had to check each occurrence.

Anyways to speed things up and save mouse miles, I used the mouse to click on Find Next and the R key on the keyboard to replace the term where necessary.

Within a topic -- after the first occurrence -- that worked fine.
On switching to the first occurrence in the next topic and replacing it via R, the R seems to get interpreted twice as the term is removed and the letter r isinserted. At first I thought it was my finger -- but it is not -- it always happens on the first replace in the next topic.
