Notepad ++ - Find All in Current Document / Find All in All Open Documents not working

It works for me in version 6.8.2.

Hmm… Here’s what I do using 6.8.2 on windows 7.

Macro > Start
Searc Find. Then “Find What” ToDo:" Click “Find All in Current Documents”
Macro > Stop
Macro > Save Current recorded macro = List TODO

when I then run “list todo” nothing happens

Maybe, macros are just related to the text editing control itself?

Hello Leigh, h-h-h-h and Gary,

Indeed, the Find All in Current Document action is NOT recordable, in macros, even if the Find Results panel was previously opened :-((

Just have a look to these two old posts, on SourceForge, about that topic, where I give a work-around to that wrong behaviour :

Hope it’ll be useful to you !

The original post is not talking about macros.

I have just had a Eureka moment!

I just discovered a minimized window that was only a few pixels square. When I maximized it - I could see all the results from Find All in Current Document.

So what I thought was a bug, was not.

This just happened to me on 7.4.2. The reason was I have 2 monitors and I had just switched monitor 2 to be the main display. For some reason this prevented the popup window for the search results to open. Once I changed it back the find command worked again.
