Description bobw 2010-06-11 20:27:11 UTC 
Reproduce:

- Select some text.
- Press cmd-R to bring up the Replace dialog.
- Do a search-and-replace that's limited to the selection.
- Close the Replace dialog.
- Undo.

Actual Result:

In most cases, the selection is lost after the undo, though it is retained in some cases (not sure exactly what the criteria are here).

Expected result:

I'd expect the selection to be retained. When this is the case, you can immediately return to the Replace dialog and do a new search-and-replace on the same selection (probably because your first attempt was incorrect, which is why you used the undo command). As is, you must redo the selection.
