I've encountered a bug with find/replace in the FB^3 Editor(3.2.0). 
I have a variable "something$" that I'm using in a bunch of 
functions, it's local to each function and I had not come up with a 
better name yet.  Well when I did I started using find/replace to 
change it in each function, turns out the middle section of my 
program is currently invisible to find/replace.  Earlier tonight I 
removed two sections that I had commented out using /* */, each 
section was delimited by the cmd-L lines.  Funny thing is the 
invisible section starts right in the middle of one function.  This 
is something to watch out for until Staz and friends figures this one 
out.

You'd think the problem would disappear once I saved the file and 
quit the editor, but no, I have two copies of the program which 
display the problem.  It appears there is an invisible comment flag 
set somewhere because if I check the box which says search comments 
it finds the other cases of "something$".  So I have a file saved 
which nicely demonstrates the problem (I haven't restarted the 
computer but I hardly think that is necessary) and I made it easy in 
that the editor only finds five cases of "something$" if it is not 
searching comments even though the dozens of other occurrences are 
not in comments.
