Find and Replace [unreliable when using Regular Expressions]

Question

Hi,I use this feature fairly often. I noticed that sometimes it does not return results after the initial search that did give the results. It just happened to me again, while using regular expression.Case, step by step:- I open Dreamweaver, and use the feature for the whole local site.- I test the query first by pressing Find All button only.- I get 112 results- Then I press Find All button again and it returns zero results.No matter what I do within Dreamweaver after this, the search returns zero results.The only solution is to close the application and open it again. I use it on Mac.If I use this without regular expression turned on, I always get the results.Thanks

I can't reproduce it in DW CC 19.01. I have Windows 10 with latest updates.

WORKFLOW:

My local site folder is defined in DW and resides on my primary hard drive -- C:\MyTestSite
I use keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Shift+F to Find.
I type Bootstrap in the search field.
In: Entire Current Local Site.
I hit the Find All button. See screenshot.
Find & Replace screen closes.
Search panel opens. Results 521 items found in 197 documents.
Repeating steps 2-5 produces the exact same results each time.
