Product: PowerShell Studio 2020 (64 Bit)
Build: v5.7.173
OS: Windows 10 Enterprise (64 Bit)
Build: v10.0.18363.0
Good evening,
Our hope that Sapien will discover and patch this annoying long-term usability problem itself has unfortunately proved to be wrong, hence this ticket.
The Issue is easy to reproduce:
1. Open at least two files in Sapien PowerShell Studio
2. Search for a String in File 1. Use F3 to search the next item.
3. Switch to another File
4. Press F3 to re-use the last search string and search for it
5. Unfortunately, Sapien PowerShell Studio deletes the Search String, if the Customer switches to another File tab
On the one hand we do not know this behaviour in any other IDE,
on the other hand: what benefit do customers have if the search string is deleted?
Please fix this usability issue.
Btw. It would be great, if Sapien PowerShell Studio would not display a Dialog (which must be confirmed!) if F3 was not able to find any other result. Just do nothing, if there is something like a status bar, a "String not found" message would be enough.
If the User press F3 again, then start over searching the String.
This is how most well-known IDEs like Visual Studio, Eclipse, all the JetBrain IDEs and VS Code solve this problem. It works great and is fast and does not interrupt the workflow with a dialogue.
Thanks a lot, kind regards,
Thomas

I've been able to reproduce this behavior and I reported it to the development team. When I have more information, I'll post here.
