If I first check the “RegExp” option in the “Find Text” part of the dialog and then the “UTF-8”, the “RegExp” option is unchecked. This is very confusing, especially as I can then check the “RegExp” option again.
Either “RegExp” and “UTF-8” can be enabled at the same time, in which case “RegExp” shouldn’t become unchecked when enabling “UTF-8”, or, as soon as either option is checked, the other should be disabled.
Even better, switch to a regular expression library that supports more encodings (“UTF-16” also unchecks “RegExp”, but these options are at least mutually exclusive).
RegExp & UTF-8 in search dialog should be mutually exclu

Confirmed & agree.
From the Help about checkbox "UTF8":Maybe the UTF8 option should have influenced the checkbox "case sensitive" instead then (forced to be on/maybe greyed out)?
In the help I found no comment like "Unicode/UTF8: can't be used together with RegEx option" or similar.![Confused :?](./images/smilies/icon_confused.gif)
Preventing incompatible options is generally good IMO (and needs no translation
), but could be clearer.
From the Help about checkbox "UTF8":
Code: Select all
Note: At the moment, all UTF8-searches are case sensitive (due to limitations of the used search function).

Who the hell is General Failure, and why is he reading my disk?

This problem has been postponed to TC 7.5 because I'm still looking for a way to make RegEx work with UTF-8.
