Hi,

Here is one for you:

1. Enter this text in a new file in Visual Studio 2008:

AAA Lorem ipsum dolor sit amett

Only one line, without new line!

2. Search for AAA, you will see that AAA is highlighted

3. Enter a new line and then remove the newline by pressing
backspace.

Not only you will remove the newline but also the highlighting!

I have found that highlighting is not accurate, I've used highlighting
to differentiate through lines I would leave and lines that I would
delete, and I have deleted lines which were not supposed to be deleted!

Hello,

I've also found that text to find is not highlighted if it is at the very last line of a file.

drac I am seeing the same effect here. Thank you for the clear description.

case=24351

maxim2000 I am not seeing any problems. Which IDE are you using? What sort of highlighting are you talking about? IDE find results, VA Find References Results, or something else?

I'm using VS2005SP1. Just try to find a text from the last line (no empty lines below). IDE will highlight it but VA won't.
I'm talking about VA's option "highlight find results".
Actually, this is the same bug as drac has reported.

I don't understand your description, and cannot reproduce the problem. This is VS2005, this is the last line of the file, as you can see from show all characters being turned on.



Find results being highlighted, this is being done by VA. The IDE will select one find result at a time, but it is not highlighting the result, the text is actually selected.

You are right, I mixed selected and highlighted text. Sorry for that. Finally, you understood me correctly.
Unfortunately, I can't reproduce the problem today and send you a picture. Somehow I could reproduce it yesterday.. as many times as I wanted. May be later I'll describe the problem more accurately.
