Search state never clears, requires program restart for each new search

[eggdropsoap]

After beginning a search using the Search -> Find... menu, the state of the Search menu becomes impossible to reset to normal. The Find... option is disabled, preventing a new search, and the Find Next option is enabled but using it eventually reaches the end of the results list and cannot be cleared (it continues to give the End of Results dialogue).

Expected behaviour:

Search -> Find... should never be disabled, allowing a new search to be begun at any time (which should discard the previous result set once the new search is initiated).

Search -> Find Next should display End of Results once, and then the second time should wrap around to display the first result again.

Is this on the Windows or Mac version?

[eggdropsoap]

Sorry! The Windows version. This is in 2.4.0 and in 2.2.0 for sure.

Confirmed in both the Windows and Mac versions. Thanks for the report.

The next major release is supposed to contain a completely new search mode, but the full implementation of that is dragging, so I may do an interim release for this fix.

I believe this is solved in the latest beta (http://www.minecraftforum.net/topic/840677-nbtexplorer-nbt-editor-for-windows-and-mac/)

The "Find" menu item will not become available again until you select a valid container node.
