Find in selection not working

[chrisgordon1]

Issue Type: Bug

Select a line. Press command-F. Type in a word that is also in that line and other lines. You will see it shows all the instances rather than the ones just in that line. Also, there is no setting that will stop this behaviour.

Maybe what you are seeing is occurrence highlighting. You can turn this off with the editor.occurrencesHighlight setting.

[chrisgordon1]

Thanks, but it also goes to the beginning of the document when I press next rather than to the next item in the selection. So I don't think your suggested solution helps.

[gjsjohnmurray]

Is the *Find in Selection" toggle button on when you are doing this?

[chrisgordon1]

There is no Find in Selection toggle on my system as far as I can see. I am including a screenshot.

[gjsjohnmurray]

Aha! You are using a notebook rather than an ordinary text editor. So this is a duplicate of #121218
