The 'Find' option is not working properly if Unicode letters are present in the editor, and the “Regular expressions” option is checked (4235790)

The 'Find' option is not working properly if Unicode letters are present in the editor, and the “Regular expressions” option is checked

In Toad for Oracle v14.2 when in the Editor, the 'Find' option is not working properly if Unicode letters are present in the editor, and “Regular expressions” option is checked.

The result of the find is not properly marked/highlighted, when the text is found.

To replicate, paste the statement below in the Editor and use the Find menu, and use the word 'Return' to find, you can see the issue occurring.

/**********************************************************************************************
   NAME:       GetLast

   PURPOSE:    Returns last char in pText
               Next 4 letters are in Greek
               ΑΒΓΔ
***********************************************************************************************/
CREATE OR REPLACE Function GetLast(pText In Varchar2) Return Varchar2 Is

BEGIN
  Return(SubStr(pText,-1));
End;



In v15 the issue doesn't occur with the basic Find functionality and this looks to be fixed there, however there is still an issue in v15 where if you use F3 (function key shortcut for find next) the problem re-appears.

WORKAROUND:
None.
