When you double click on a word, the other instances do not highlight due to the Find Box being open

It's been like this forever.  I don't see that getting fixed any time soon.

There's another recent post here or in another of the forums about Text Editor issues.

I make a comparison between this case and the previous one:

Table 1:

https://community.altera.com/discussions/quartus-prime/highlight-similar-instances-of-a-selected-word-fails-when-scrolling/337284/replies/350951

Aspect

Your Original Issue (selection jump & mass deletion risk)

Find Box state

Closed with non‑empty search term left in it

Trigger

After closing Find, start selecting (click‑hold‑scroll) or scroll with wheel

Observed behavior

Scroll re-selects previous Find term- Click‑hold‑scroll selection can jump to top (unintended large selection) → risk of mass deletion

Table 2:

https://community.altera.com/discussions/quartus-prime/when-you-double-click-on-a-word-the-other-instances-do-not-highlight-due-to-the-/351004

Aspect

New Steps (double-click doesn’t highlight when Find is open & empty)

Find Box state

Open and empty

Trigger

Double‑click a word expecting “highlight all instances”

Observed behavior

Double‑clicking a word does not highlight other instances while Find box is still open- Once Find is closed, highlight‑all behavior returns.

Let me know if this is incorrect, can you also send us the video for this issue? 

Please note that I have reported the table 1 bug to engineering to fix it.

Thanks, Kenny
