Loosing Text editor and XML tabs when using Find and Replace

Post by Rene Severens »

Hi,

(Using Flare 9.1.2). I have a CHM output project with a number of topics in which a table is used. When executed a Find and Replace (juist doing a find) on "<table " (without the "") within the source code for all topics in the whole project, the topics are returned and opened that contain a table. That is great! However, the topics are opened in the text editor not showing the tabs to switch to the XML editor.

To see the topic with those tabs, I have to double-click the source file again.
Anybody seen this before or am I doing something wrong?

Greetings,
Rene Severens

Nope, that's how it works. I suppose we should put in a feature request to make both tabs available. I also find it a real PITB that I can't see the bit I've found as it appears in the XML editor. The link in my footer will get you to a feature request as well as a bug, I think.
