Hi Timothy!

Sorry for that inconvenience. Short workaround would be for you to select the piece of text, then delete it. Then hit [cmd]+[j] (or [alt]+[j]) to do that over and over again. That's the "inline find/replace" feature. :-)

The reason for your issue is that our UIManager does return an empty string if the user cancelled the input request. We should change that to nil. At the moment, TextEditor treats those empty strings as cancellation of the find/replace request.

Best,
Marcel

Hi folks,


Just an FYI


I have a very long test (don't ask) in my PEG Grammar for a long rule.


I am attempting to find and replace



actor transcripton: false.


Note the empty line above the "actor transcription: false"


If I do a Find and Replace  on this, I cannot just leave the "replace" dialog empty. 

I must enter at least one space character to get it to do the job.


cheers,
