Yup that's the way it works. If you don't click Find Next button the Replace
field gets focus and another press of Enter key goes to Whole Word and hangs
there.

When I was developing find/replace no matter what I did someone found issue with
it and wanted it to work another way and then someone would have problems with
the new way.

I can change the order of tabbing such that after "word" is entered in Find
field, pressing Tab key moves focus to Replace field. If Tab key is pressed again
focus moves to the Find Button. If you press Enter key while focus is on Find
Button multiple finds can occur. If you press tab again focus shifts to Replace
button and if you press enter key the
"word" is replaced. The problem is getting back to Find Button again without a
lot of tabbing. Right now tabbing goes to the checkbox controls but maybe they
should be bypassed.

I'll consider it.
