Search and Replace annoyance

I have just updated to version 2021 and I am saddened to note that one annoyance that has been present in SDL Studio for a long time is still here.

When you use Find and Replace (Ctrl+H) you are forced to click "Find Next" before clicking "Replace All". I think, maybe it is time to fix this? Shouldn't "Replace All" just work the first time you click it?

Thank you!

Not an out-of-thr-box solution, but you can try this: noradiaz.blogspot.com/.../replace-all-that-really-means-replace.html

Thank you Nora, it's a bug I would classify as an annoyance rather than something that impairs functionality. I am glad there is a third-party solution but this bug has been around for years. I hope someone from SDL sees this and addresses the problem in an upcoming update.
