Find action is disabled when text file is edited. This is basic functionality of editor.
I started with new userdir, converted filesystem to webmodule and opened web.xml file. This is recognized by its own data loader but it doesn't have custom editor. Find is not working. Then I tried to create new text file and find is disabled again. It works correctly when I start with new user, create text file and edit it.
So, I reproduced this. It seems to me, that for text files swing default editor kit is used instead of text/plain from editor module. This Issue could be connected to either one of following: Issue #15509 Issue #15571
While closing IDE after making Web Module, attached exception was thrown.
Created attachment 2602 [details] Exception thrown while closing IDE.
