Assigned to: CPU Architecture:Any

Description:
I recently upgraded to Workbench 6.3 from version 5.x. When employing FIND AND REPLACE, Version 5 had the REPLACE AND FIND NEXT feature, where it would replace the found string with the replacement string and automatically jump to the next found string. Version 6 does not implement that feature. Why?

How to repeat:
Open an SQL Editor in Workbench Version 6.3.
Import an SQL script or type in new text.
Enter CNTL-H or press the Find and Replace icon.
Notice the available options are REPLACE ALL and REPLACE. REPLACE AND FIND NEXT, which was an option in Version 5, is conspicuous by its absence.

Suggested fix:
Restore the REPLACE AND FIND NEXT feature of FIND AND REPLACE.

For bonus points, restore the feature from MySQL Query Browser where REPLACE ALL, when a segment of text is block-selected, would replace all occurrences of the find string /only within the block-selected text segment/. (In the absence of a block-selected text segment, REPLACE ALL replaces all occurrences in the entire script.)
