<pre>Description:
Both in the "Search" line and in the "Replace" line, pressing the ALT key
highlights the text already contained in the line (for overwriting). As a
consequence, it is impossible to type an expression containing a character (in
non-first position) involving the ALT key.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. CTRL-ALT f
2. Type A[ in the search line or in the replace line.
Actual Results:
[
Expected Results:
A[
Pressing the ALT key should not highlight the content of the dialog box lines.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
While one keeps the ALT key pressed, one can go on typing ALT characters. Once
one releases it and presses it again, one cannot add anything, for the
above-mentioned reason.
I seem to remember that this is an old bug; I think I have seen it in v. 5.0.
