    Search and replace

    When conducting a search and replace in the code view, it is possible to get caught in a loop in which the following message displays, and irrespective of what is done, the loop cannot be exited and the message continue to display.

    This happens only if Match Case is not selected in the Search & Replace window within Vista and the user is trying to change multiple instances of a word such as Image to image.

    Re: Search and replace

    Yes the issue is reproducable.
     
    If you go to code view and type a series of lines containg  the word Image and then try to change that to image, you get locked into a loop and can only escape that loop by closing Firefox through the Task Manager.
     
    This only happens if Match Case is not selected. Ideally there should be an escape that does not involve having to close the browser through Task Manager.
     
    I am using Vista, which obviously may be part of the problem.

    You can also reproduce this by going to the example at...
    http://cutesoft.net/example/general.aspx
     
    Switch to the HTML code view...
     
    Do a find/replace for 'table' and replace with 'TABLE' (Without Match case turned on)...
     
    This will get stuck on the Ok/Cancel popup dialog.
     
    I'm using Firefox 3.5 under Windows XP Pro SP2
