function find/replace not reliable at all
The function find/replace does not work satisfactorilly. The items to be replaced are correctly highlighted, BUT THEY ARE NOT REPLACED by the new item. This happens randomly for example when you try to replace elements in the current document. This was already the case in beta 3 and beta 4 but it does not seem to have been fixed in the final version.

The function Find/Replace gas been improved since my post (Nov 16, 2016). There is still an annoying bug: when you have many instances of an item in a long document, the vertical scrollbar is full of yellow patterns and no longer usable. There is no other choice than closing the document and reopening it again.

I become mad with the function find/replace (Windows 10, French version). It just does not work!!! The solution I found was to copy/paste the whole page in MS word, make the replace job in Word and copy back the result in Dreamweaver.
