Replace button does not work

[olta]

[Search] > [Replace] does not open the replace window.

Hmm the menu entry doesn't have the ellipsis, meaning it doesn't open a popup btw.

Interestingly, it does open it when the search string is not empty (ie. you did Search->Find, entered a string, and closed the popup).
And if the selection matches the search pattern it does replace it as intended instead of opening the popup...

I'm thinking that it should be best to use 'Find/Replace...' as the option in the menu because they both open up the Find dialog.

I don't think this is how it is supposed to work. The workflow would be:

1. You open the Find dialog and select a string to find, and a string to replace
2. You validate your choice, the dialog closes
3. The first match for your "find" string is highlighted in the text view
4. You can either "replace" it (using this menu item) or "find next".

If this is how it should actually work, the "Replace" item should only bring the dialog on the first time it is called. Or alternatively, it could be disabled until a search has been made from the Find dialog, and stay enabled only as long as there are matches for the last search.
