Does anyone understand the red outlines that sometimes appear around some of the checkboxes in the Selection Criteria pane at the top of GoFish?

Here's what I see:

- No red box ever around the first checkbox ("Limit to home directory"/"Subdirectories");
- Always a red box around Whole Word if I'm searching a project, but never if I'm searching in a folder;
- Red boxes around the last two ("Match case" and "Comments") only when they're different than the default value.

Is that what everyone sees? Does it make sense to anyone?

Ths intent is to indicate non-default selections (also used in the Filter form)

Quite possibly inconsistent, although I can't say I have ever noticed.

- No red box ever around the first checkbox ("Limit to home directory"/"Subdirectories"); I must have missed this one.
- Always a red box around Whole Word if I'm searching a project, but never if I'm searching in a folder;  I can't reproduce this; red outline for me only when selected.
- Red boxes around the last two ("Match case" and "Comments") only when they're different than the default value. That's the intent.

If they're meant to highlight non-defaults (which is what I kind of thought), then there are some bugs.

Bugs in MY code?

I guess there's a first time for everybody.

Sorry, didn't meant to be rude. I didn't see your annotations in my question and didn't know it was your code until after I'd replied. Regardless, I should have been more polite.

Oh, not rude at all.  I have no emotional attachment to code I worked on years ago (or yesterday, for that matter).

This just shows TAOMB.
