Description
Finding text at cursor is broken when searching inside .txt files (.pas, .cpp, .h and .hpp files work OK).

Does not work in .txt, .html, .dfm files.

This is likely broken in other files types as well.

Worked in BDS2006.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Enable Tools-Options-Editor Options-Find text at cursor.

2. Open a *.txt file

3. Press Ctrl-F when on a word

//exp: word under cursor to be in the search dialog
//act: nothing in the search dialog


Note: this works fine in .pas files
and this used to work in older Delphi versions.
Workarounds
manually copy / paste the word at the cursor position.

So in stead of a single Ctrl-F, you have to do this:
Ctrl K-T; Ctrl-C; Ctrl-F; Ctrl-V
