In good ol' HC, if you have a field somewhere with text (someText) in it, and a button that contains:


on mouseUp
  find someText
end mouseUp


The text is found, and a box is drawn around it. If you press the button again
 the box disappears for a moment, and then is redrawn. This is known as finding once more.


In LC, however, the second find makes the box disappear altogether, You can get it back if you find
for a third time. (or fifth, etc.)


Annoying, unless it is just me and mine.
