Query with using "Find..."

#1

Hi, I’ve been using sublime text as a simple text editor with the line numbers. Previously when I was finding specific code I could hit the ENTER key and the highlighted cursor would go from one result to the next and so on and would then go back to the first result and so on.

It isn’t doing this now on the same computer as when it was doing the above.

I have the latest version and I have a Mac with El Capitan 10.11.6

Can you help with this please?

Thank you.

When I click on the Find button on the menu, a search box appears below at the bottom of the sublime text page as it did before.

When I enter “any code” and then press enter on my keyboard as I did before, a message just next to the search box appears, saying:

unable to find “any code”

the message and the panel are shown, in the bottom you can see an attempted search of the term html. html is in line 66 but is not highlighted as per normal - ie by being found by searching for html which I have done in the search bar that you can see just above the “unable to find html” I have included the whole st with the find panel showing clearly at the bottom
