If the find+replace dialog was left open while switching to a new file, the find and replace text values in the dialog would revert to those used on the last actual search, instead of remaining as-is.

Descriptive Problem Summary:
When you switch from one .dm file to another, the find/replace queries reset to the last search you performed.

Expected Results:
They shouldn't reset.

When does the problem NOT occur?
Tested in a few different programs; wasn't able to find a situation in which it didn't occur.

Workarounds:
Perform a "test search" before switching files.

I don't quite follow what you mean about the resetting here. A more concrete set of steps to follow would be helpful for me. I tried some tests on this and didn't find anything unusual.

You can leave the find/replace window open as you switch between .dm files. If you change either of the input options and then switch to a different .dm file WITHOUT having searched yet, it resets the inputs to the last queries you submitted.

That happens whether you switch files or not. I don't really consider it a bug because until you actually perform a search the values don't get counted as finalized.
