Thread: "Find" dialog gets stuck on "backwards" searching

I checked the radio option for "Backwards" in the "Find" dialog, and 
since then it is selected by default whenever I use it. I can switch it 
back to "Forwards" but it stays on "Backwards" for any new editor 
window, even with closing pgAdmin and across reboots. It's kind of a 
hassle since I'm used to the default of "Forward" search in basically 
every program ever.

pgAdmin Version is 1.18.0 (Sep 4 2013, rev: REL-1_18_0)
Windows 7 Professional, fully updated etc

Thanks!

And right after I hit "Send" I solved it myself.

I dug around in the registry and found the key 
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\pgAdmin III\FindReplace\Direction, and set it 
to "f" (it was "b") and this fixed the problem.

But I guess the issue remains how it got stuck this way to begin with, 
and why it couldn't remember a change afterwards.
