Bug with backwards Regex search

Post by *jcm77 »

Hi !

I'd like to report an irritating bug:

1) open a text file, with the viewer
2) search for a regular expression (I use [A-Z]_), and check the boxes RegEx and Search backwards
3) once the text has been found, do a second search with Shift-F7
4) do a third search with Shift-F7, and the search is not done backwards but forwards !

Shift+F7 does not make a backward search, Shift+F3 and Shift+F5 does:

Help says:
Find next: Continues a search. The current search string is stored both in Total Commander and in Lister for future searches.
Key: F5, F3 or SHIFT+F7.
Ctrl+F3 and Ctrl+F5 reverse the search direction.
Shift+F3 and Shift+F5 always search backwards
You start a NEW search with F7 of Ctrl+F

Not a Bug with backwards Regex search

In Lister, the F5 key is used to "search next"

and also respect the set "[x] Search backwards" option.



(see Edit menu in Lister)
