Acrobat fails to highlight found search terms

[Fred Ridder]

Yes, this bug was noted previously on the list. It only started after Adobe's most recent patch of Acrobat 9.0 (which was supposedly a security patch rather than anything affecting basic functionality), and only seems to be a problem under Windows XP. Reportedly, Find works fine under Windows 7 (nobody has said anything one way or the other about Vista). 
 
Search still works properly (for me, at least...), but Find has been rendered essentially useless. All we can do is wait to find out if Adobe considers this enough of a bug that they fix it in their next patch. Or else bite the bullet and buy into the new set of bugs that reportedly come with Acrobat X.
 
Unexplicably cynical on a sunny Thursday morning,
