Choosing "Entire Scope" under "Origin" in the Find dialog results in finding only the first word (or last if you select backward direction).

    For me, this is expected before for "Entire Scope".

    Can you explain what you expected "Entire Scope" to do?

    I though it would start from the beginning, find another instance each time I select find and after it reaches the end start from the beginning again.
    Seems like the behavior hasn't changed since bloodshed's version, except that when you pressed find the dialog closed, and then you could use f3 to search the rest of the document while now it stays open which misleading/annoying.

    I will add support for wrapping around to the beginning of the file when nothing is found. That will make searching a little bit more useful.

    The recommended usage for now to start searching at the top is as follows:
    - Use Entire Scope once. Click Find.
    - Switch to From Cursor. Keep clicking Find to keep searching.

    I'd prefer:
    - Use Entire Scope once. Click Find. Dialog closes automatically
    - Use F3 to find the rest
