Find_selected_text broken in latest release?

#1

The option find_selected_text (which makes the selected text to be copied into the find panel) does not seem to be respected by the last version of Sublime Text 3. I have it set to false but whenever I select some text, it clears my current search and replace it with the selected text.

Is it a bug or am I missing something?

A brief test shows that it works as expected for me under Linux on build 3126, what OS are you using? Have you tried disabling plugins to see if one of them is doing you a favor and turning the option on for you?

It seems to come and go actually. If I restart Sublime Text, it will work as expected, then after some time, it starts taking the selection and putting it in the search box. I’ll see if I can replicate it in a more consistent way, and I’ll also check my plugins.

I’m on Ubuntu 16.

I’m on 3131 and indeed restart helps but it’s quirky (for example highlights will be broken)
