Description
When I use RIDE in Win10, I feel it has below problems or insufficient.
1.When there are many folders and expand dozens and hundreds of testcases in Menu tree, win10 will has no response when click RIDE menu or switch application for some minutes. This problem is fatal.
Grid/Cell Edittor and Text Editor, the characters are fuzzy.
3.Test Editor, will auto change the code position if the line start with ... or #. It'a a trouble when I compare files between local and git repo.
4.Cell Edittor, if the keyword name which in the first colucm is long, it will auto line feed, but the line height will don't change, so I can't see the keyowrd which in second line.
5.Text editor, can't highlight the selected keyword/parameter in same page.
6.Text editor, can't find/replace in page or in project.
I and most of my colleagues use the Text editor in most of the time, because many of our cases are complex and have many relationships. And in Text editor, it easy to copy
