  It's been three days since my last restart and QCE has been working fine, until I tried a Find/Replace:
  
  I have the following text on the clipboard: PLTR BE CRDO CLS OLO DASH SE WDC
  I want to replace spaces with commas.  I put a comma in the Replace box
  
  Tried pressing space bar in find and checking Replace All - nope
  using \s in find and checking regular expression - nope
  using `s in find - nope
  
  No matter what, it didn't work.  Had to restart QCE and that fixed it.
  
  On a positive note:
  

  • This version fixed the annoying behavior of where it would ask you if you wanted to Discard Changes when you closed the window after running CQE
    
  • It also now works as expected when excluding KeyPass.exe

  I guess you insertion point was at the end of the editor. Find and replace starts from the beginning or from the current position in the editor, depending on this option:

  Thanks for these follow ups. Appreciated :-)

  Hi Steve,
  
  Following what I think was the cause of the issue you raised here, I added in v3.3.3 an alert message when user is trying to find or replace from the end of the editor and none of the options "Always search from top" or "Continue from top" are selected.
