Select the first
1,025characters -
Open the Find dialog (
Ctrl + F)
Current Behavior
=> The Find field is totally empty ?!
Expected Behavior
I expected that the first 1,025 characters would be visible in the Find zone ! And this should be true from any amount of characters between 1,025 and 16,383.
