"Find in pdf" is pretty much unusable in multi-part-documents because the focus changes to the editor window as soon as text is found in the pdf file which corresponds to text in a tex file other than the tex file currently in the foreground in the editor window.
Steps:
- Open attached A.tex
- Compile to pdf
- Disable "cursor follows scrolling" (left icon, should be grey)
- Enable "scrolling follows cursor" (right icon, should be green)
- Focus pdf file
- Press Ctrl-F to search in that file
- (1) Type "random" in the "find" field
- Backspace-delete all the in the "find" field
- (2) Type "words" in the "find" field
Observations:
- After (1), you might have overwritten text in the editor windows iff you had another doc than B.tex focused.
- After (2), you certainly will have.
Thanks. Good MWE. That make it easy track the issue down.
