PSPad Forum

I evaluating CrossOVer 6.2.1 on MacOS X 10.5.2 and have been testing PSPad 4.5.3 (build 2298)

I've found it to work fine so far - except for the "find" it cannot find any text within an open file...

Damn that's a pretty important thing for an text editor.

Any ideas ?

Further testing reveals that it is possible to use "find" if you are searching for a single char...

If you type more than one char into the "find" dialog box it will not find anything...

Hi again,

My eval ran out so I purchased a real CrossOver (MacOSX) license

Did some more testing on PSPad

Anyway the only real problem that I've met is that it is impossible to search for anything in an open file using the Find dialog... The incremental search is working fine.

Using "Find" I can only search for a single (one) char.
Typing two chars into the Find dialog will make it search for wrong - and it ends up showing the box saying that it didn't find any occourance of "??"

example searching for:

"ab" -> "?" not found
"abc" -> ?c" not found
"test" -> "??" not found
"tests" -> "??s" not found
"abcdef" -> "???" not found
"abcdefg" -> "???g" not found

It seems that an even numbers of chars are converted into something else - Unicode ??? UTF ???

In case of an odd number of chars only the last char is preserved.

I've tested but the stable 4.5.3 (2298) and beta 4.5.4 (2303) builds - same problem.

does the Find do something different than the incrementan search in case of simple searches - when not searching for wildcards etc ?

Kind regards Uffe
