The Mousepad Find dialog always opens with "Match case" checked, even though I un-check it every time I use it. I doubt that most people would want a case-sensitive find in a text editor most of the time, but regardless, it would be nice if Mousepad would save the user's preference so he doesn't have to fiddle with it every time. I don't think this was a problem with the version of Mousepad I was using a year or two ago. Perhaps the old default was for "Match case" to be unchecked.
Mirosław Gabruś forwarded the attached patch to the relevant Debian bug.

Why has this not been acted on? Its ~1.5 years old now... out of desperation I did my second C hack ever to kill off case-sensitivity by default, but this patch is much better.
Right, I tried to apply the 'save the state of matchcase and replaceall' patch and got an error complaining about an invalid line (whitespace missing on line 11, 'g_build_filename(PACKAGE'?). I redid the patch manually and will attach the diff quilt generated. I have built the associated Debian package and case-sensitivity settings are persisited across program runs.

The new Mousepad 0.3.0 has a new find bar placed at the bottom of the window just like Firefox. I think the bugs are now solved. Even the Find and Replace dialog seems ok. Please check if this bug still lives.
Now that I'm using mousepad 0.3.0, the problem is gone. Thanks!
Closing as fixed since it can't be reproduced with lastest version, which is a total re-write of version this bug is about, and which is no longer maintained or supported. Please feel free to re-open and update the version on this bug or make a new report if you experience it still in latest version.
