RE: "Find Selection" 4 line limit

The nedit version 5.6 has been released as a source only release.  I
have been using it for a couple of months and tried the Find selection
functionality on it with up to 8 lines, and it seems to work.  I don't know
what the limit is in 5.6, but it is definitely higher than 4 lines.

My version info is:

Subject: "Find Selection" 4 line limit

Hi,
I have a problem which involves the "Find Selection" (ctrl-h)
functionality. If I select up to 4 lines, "ctrl-h" finds the next
occurrence. If I look for more lines, e.g. 5 lines selected, NEdit
doesn't find the next occurrence. I was wondering if this was a
problem only for me or do other people experience it?

Output of my "nedit -V":

I've seen some threads on the list about a possible NEdit 5.6. If this
is a problem which is widespread does any NEdit dev think it would be
possible to fix this for 5.6? I know it's not a top priority issue but
it seems like such an arbitrarily small limit, I was hoping there was
a simple solution :)
