Bug 148984

I'm sorry, but I don't understand. Would you mind describing exactly what is wrong or what you are proposing. Thanks

After invoking a find action (e.g. Find Selection from editors toolbar, or F3) for "TEXT" user maybe experience, that
also all occurrences of "text", "Text", "TEXT"... were found, but if user only want to find "TEXT", he can't change the
find settings.
In this case, it would be very helpful, if editors searchbar would automatically open, so user could set a hook for
"Match Case", and then continue with F3.

I see, thanks for clarification. It might be useful to do that. Although I don't think it's terribly important mainly
because [1] case-insensitive text search is what users typically need and [2] most users are familiar with Ctrl+F
shortcut, which does exactly what you are requesting.

Thanks for correction as enhancement. :-)

> because [1] case-insensitive text search is what users typically need
The problem is, that Find Selection from editors toolbar, or F3 always uses the settings of the last find action, and
not that, "what users typically need", so the nice toolbar often becomes worthless.

> and [2] most users are familiar with Ctrl+F shortcut
yes, but for those, which don't belong to this group of users, IMHO the editors toolbar was introduced, but currently is
in in state of "half-baked".
By the same statement you could drop editors toolbar at all.

This old bug may not be relevant anymore. If you can still reproduce it in 8.2 development builds please reopen this issue.

Thanks for your cooperation,
