Some additional information. It only happens when I use Option-Shift-Left/Right Arrow to select the word. Selection using mouse or by selecting via Shift-Left/Right Arrow is Ok.

Something odd has happened to Find in the latest build. When I selected a word and hit Cmd-E (Use Selection for Find) it appends a carriage return to the word. I can see this when I open the Find dialog.

Any idea what is happening?

I'm on the latest build and use ⌘E constantly and I'm not seeing this. There's probably a command in TextMate that got that shortcut somehow. Hit ⌃⌘T, change it to “Key Equivalent” and hit ⌘E to see if anything matches.

Just saw your last message, which makes it even stranger, but the above might still be worth a try. What if you select the word with (my favorite) ⌃W?

Checked ⌃⌘T and no match for ⌘E. ^W works fine - doesn't append CR when I ⌘E.

I'm now finding that this problem doesn't consistently show up. Sometimes it works as expectedly and sometimes it appends the CR.

I wonder if it has something to do with "Disable Refresh on Regaining Focus". I don't often have that checked but it's the only thing I have that's different from my normal TextMate usage.

Thanks on the ^W info. I'll use that when this happens in the future.

If you use ⌘G after ⌘E does it find the next occurrence? I.e. is the problem only showing in the Find window?

That was where I originally noticed the problem. Doing ⌘G after ⌘E and not finding the next occurrence when I knew there should be some. It was only when I opened up the Find window that I saw that the CR was appended.

Can you try View → Show Invisibles and see if perhaps there are bad characters in yur document? What sort of document is it (prose, code)?

Did that as well and there were no bad characters. I was writing code PHP in UTF-8 encoding.

I am at a loss as to what could cause this. My hunch would be some external clipboard tool, but those normally affect the regular clipboard, not the find clipboard.

I have used "Disable Refresh on Regaining Focus" and can't reproduce it under that mode so am also stuck as to what could have been causing it. I haven't seen this problem in a week so it might have been some state I had odd TextMate in perhaps.
