Text Editor Find doesn't work for me

In the text editor, when I try doing a 'find', the display always moves to the top of the file, even if what I am searching for is not in the lines visable (about the top 37 lines). Even when I can see that what I am searching for is on the display page right below where my cursor is, when I press the Next button (or F3), the display jumps to the top of the file. I can manually scroll down and see that the editor found what I wanted, but instead of having it visable in the window, the display is always jumping back to the top of the file. The Replace function works the same way. This makes the Find and Replace features almost useless.

 

I am running ISE 13.2 on a Windows 7 PC

Re: Text Editor Find doesn't work for me

Not "always" for me, just "sometimes", but I can see that behaviour, too. Seems that old issues that should be fixed still persist:

This is another reason why you should use emacs and its fabulous VHDL mode.

Exactly the same problem here. Any solutions?
