Default Search stuck in case sensitive mode

With the Match Case cleared and Use Wildcards selected, is Search
supposed to be case sensitive? It is form.

With these setting searching for funny will not find Funny. When I
clear Use Wildcards, then it can find it.

Also,
No matter how many times I clear Use Wildcards it eventualy goes back
to on (w/o my intervention).

Possibly related to my very recent preceding post.

Thanks

Yes, wildcard search is always case-sensitive. You can use the special
syntax of wildcards to make case-insensitive search expressions -- for
your example, try [fF]unny as the search term.

The other problem is definitely not normal. Try pursuing Klaus's
suggestion to look for interference from a macro.
