backward search doesn't work any longer
-
All of a sudden searching backwards through a file doesn’t work and I have to have proper case for strings I am searching. Does anyone know about this? Is it a setting that has changed for some reason? I am using version 8.7.5 if that helps.
Thanks in advance,

If you are in Regular Expression search mode, you cannot do backward search, unless you have followed the User Manual instructions (https://npp-user-manual.org/docs/preferences/#preferences-for-advanced-users) to set the
regexBackward4PowerUserattribute in the xml config file, and restarted N++.But, as I said, this is nothing new. So a “sudden change” presumably was you choosing Regular Expression mode.
