Project Find - Replace Fails Silently - Watch Movie!

I frequently use the "Project Find" window.(*) I find that the "Replace" button in there doesn't always work. Today, in a particular task, it found 20 occurrences, and when I directed it to replace all of them, it only replaced 10. Later, when I discovered the omissions, I directed it to replace the remaining 10. This time it replaced 8. Since the last two would not replace after repeated attempts, I made a movie to document the problem...

Closing and re-opening the Project Find window did not help.

The file "Browfile.h" was also open in its own, separate window. Closing that window did not help.

I had about a dozen other windows also open. (I use "Condensed" layout.) Closing those dozen other windows solved the problem. It is likely that the Browfile.m window had Browfile.h in its history, because I also use the "Switch to Header/Source File" hotkey frequently.

In general, I have found that this occurs when I have many windows open. (A dozen is typical for me.)

Looks like a bug I should report? Already reported? Does anyone know how to avoid this? It's Xcode 3.1.1.

Thanks,

Jerry Krinock
