Do-more Search Replace/Swap
« on: October 10, 2019, 04:46:57 PM »
I have found that if I have a bit used in a WX or RX instruction in either On Success or On Error, and I try to swap or replace those bits using the search replace function I always get "Encountered an improper argument" and nothing is moved.  I assume this is a bug.

Oops. This is a bug. I created a FogBugz case so our bit weenies can fix it.

Also just noticed that this error occurs when trying to replace a variable IP as well.

Replace fails on the RX/WX instructions for multiple parameters.  It fails/aborts the whole replace, not just on that one instruction.  Basically, whenever you get the "Encountered improper argument", that actually is aborting the whole operation.

You should probably save your work to disk, close Designer, and re-open the disk project.
