Description:
Search&Replace feature simply does not work at all in SQL Editor. It looks like that Find feature also does not work. It is not a critical issue but it is a bit tediously to replace several items in script manually.

How to repeat:
1. Connect to MySQL Server
2. Choose "File->Open SQL Script" menu item
3. Open some script file
4. Being on script editor tab choose "Edit->Find->Search&Replace" menu item
5. Add something what exists in script file to Find test field
6. Add "123" to replace test field
7. Click on Replace All
8. Click on Replace
9. Click on Find Next

As a result nothing will be changed. Find next will not show next occurrence of the searched item.

Looks like a more general case of bug #51923.

Added Find and Replace support in SQL Editor and all Scintilla based editors in Mac.
Linux pending.
Windows is probably missing support in non-SQL Editor code editors (view, rgroup and trigger editors)

Linux implemented, Windows check pending.

Changed in Windows to allow find&replace from any code editor (ie, table/view/routine editors)

An entry has been added to the 5.2.21 changelog:

In the SQL Editor the Find and Replace facility did not appear to function.
