Acrobat fails to highlight found search terms

[Roger Shuttleworth]

Oh yes, Vista too.
Acrobat 9.4.5 Pro Extended. 
Finds but doesn't highlight. Why am I not surprised?

Actually, I'm running Acrobat 9 on Windows  7 Ultimate and I get exactly the same behaviour as Stuart. So it's broken in  Windows 7 as well – and it's *very* annoying given that it defeats the  whole purpose of the "Find" function.

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.
