Bug #45596	MySQL Workbend Find Dialog
Submitted:	18 Jun 2009 18:44	Modified:	19 Jun 2009 6:15
Reporter:	Michael D	Email Updates:
Status:	Won't Fix	Impact on me:	None
Category:	MySQL Workbench: Modeling	Severity:	S3 (Non-critical)
Version:	5.0.30 Rev. 3384, 5.1.13	OS:	Windows (Vista x64)
Assigned to:		CPU Architecture:	Any

Description:
The Find dialog, from the Edit menu or ctrl+F, says it finds text while searching models, but fails to highlight the found text.  This makes the Find functionaliy nearly useless.

How to repeat:
Use the dialog to search on some text. For example, a field name in a table.

Suggested fix:
Highlight the found text.

Thank you for the problem report. Verified just as described with 5.0.30 and 5.1.13.

Having a similar problem using the 5.2.11 beta version on Ubuntu 9.10. Finding or replacing text don't work on the text editor.

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1. Open the query editor.
2. Press Ctrl+Shift+F.
3. Enter text on the Find textbox.
4. Press Find previous or Find next. No text is highlighted.
5. Enter any substring from the query you are editing on the Find textbox.
6. Enter any text on the Replace tetxbox and press the Replace All or the Replace button. No text is being replaced.

I just realized this bug exists also in the old Query Browser, for the Linux version. Was the same base code used?

As of MySql workbench 5.2.20 - the find text dialog does not work at all for me. I enter text, hit the find buttin, it doesn't find it. nothing gets highlighted.

This issue applies to the legacy MySQL Workbench 8.x implementation that is no longer supported or maintained.
MySQL Workbench 26.7 is a complete rewrite using a new technology stack and does not use the affected legacy implementation.
Therefore, this issue is not applicable to the current MySQL Workbench product and as such is closed.
