Unexpected Behavior:

(Tried to send this via the NWE built in feedback option, but I keep receiving a "Could not connect to server" error.)
The "Replace All" button is disabled after use until you change the "Find what:" field or the "Replace with:" field, even though replacing all still can leave you with instances of the item(s) you wish to replace.
To duplicate this behavior, open a file which has multiple instances of muliple line-returns (\n\n\n\n etc.) in a row, then:
1. Select Find/Replace tooldrawer (cmd-F)
2. Select "PowerFind"
3. Enter text into "Find what:" field: \n\n
4. Enter text into "Replace with:" field: \n
(ie. replace double returns with single return)
5. Click "Replace All"
6. Click "Replace All" a second time and nothing happens even though there are still "\n\n" remaining after the initial pass. The button is disabled until you change the "Find what:" field or the "Replace with:" field.
Since "Replace all" can still leave you with instances of the material you wanted to replace (such as in the "replace double with single" example) I think the "Replace All" button should not be disabled after use.
