Hi,
I think that after is the best, partly since any other editor I've ever used
does so, at least according to my memory. Second, it's difficult to predict
what the user will do next. Sometimes, they'll want to keep typing after the
found results, sometimes they'll want to move the cursor to the beginning of
the results.

Thanks for the feedback and suggestions. The replace one makes sense to
me.
I see pros and cons to the search one. If the cursor is put at the start
of the found string, then the search again command, F3, would stay in the
same place, unless it started its search after the current character. In
that case, one might think a document did not contain a string if one
happened to start a search at the start of the string. I'm curious how
others analyze this?
Regarding the crash, do you mean an unrecoverable crash, or do you mean
the "Unexpected Event" dialog, which can be dismissed with a press of the
Escape key?

Hi all,
I have three small suggestions for edSharp:
1. When you do a find and replace, end at the last occurrance of the
string being replaced, and do not move from the current location if no
instance of the string is found.
2. When doing a find, place the cursor at the start of the found string,
not the end. This makes editing much more convenient.
3. I found that the program crashes if you edit a file and then try to
save (assuming the file has been saved before) if the default location is
unavailable. Basically, open a file on a thumb drive, edit, save it, pull
out the thumb drive, and save again. EdSharp should crash at this point,
instead of asking for a different location in which to save the file and
alerting you that the default is not available.
Thanks.
