Hi,

String Find seems not to work in some situations when reverse find is set to true. Here the word "example" is not found while the word "working" is found:

Bug confirmed. After trying lots of search strings, it is very hard to predict what will or won't work - the only rule I could discern is that adjacent identical letters seem to trip it up every time, but there are plenty of other non-working combinations.

Thank you, well then I will report the bug ..

It was when the search string has two identical letters and it will be sorted.

Trog, you could find other non-working combinations?

Had another play, and I think I've sussed it I was part way there with the 'double letters' I mentioned before. It seems to go wrong whenever the first character of the search string happens again anywhere else in the string. Hence 'example' does not work (repeated 'e') but 'working' does ('w' is not repeated). Other characters in the string can be repeated safely, just not the first one. Couldn't find any other problem strings.

    It goes on the track you’re editing there, in place of that track’s sound, and into My sounds. Your other tracks stay as they are.

    Want to keep that track’s sound? Start a new song in SynthMaker first (Song › New song), then open this.
