I used the wildcard F&R once, and now it pops up already checked when I do Ctrl H. Or, more correctly, it pops up most of the time and sometimes it doesn't.

I do heavy typing (.docx) and really pay attention to my productivity, so having to uncheck the wildcard box literally 50-60 times a day is quite annoying!

I should add that I would leave it checked as default, but I also constantly use special characters such as ^p for paragraph, and that doesn't work with wildcard checked.

Anyway, I just can't seem to get rid of it so would be extremely grateful if someone has a solution.

Thanks!
