Search window assumes ASCII search string

Hi,

Zeus reports an incorrect error message if you search for an UTF-8 character and it is not found:

1. Open any text file that does not contain the character ” (U+201D, Right double quotation mark, 0x0912).
2. Search, using Alt-S, for that particular character (copy and paste from above).
3. On the left side of the status bar in the bottom should appear a message like this:

Reached the end of document and the search string 'â€' was not found.

Seems like an old piece of code that hasn't been updated to handle Unicode just yet :-)

Cheers,
Archfrog

This bug has been fixed in the latest Zeus release and that latest version can be download from here: https://www.zeusedit.com/download.html

This new version will report as Version 3.99ac in the Help, About Zeus menu dialog.
