Harry: I noticed a couple of bugs myself, but not that one. SSE works
exclusively in eXPanded view, and does not change your default view.
Nor does it move the cursor from its pre-runtime position before
executing the SEarch. So it should end up where it began (assuming you
cycle through all files without Stopping). The behavior you describe
is akin to Page-Line view errata which have been described at length
here. Are you sure you weren't in P-L view?

Anyway, I (quickly) fixed a couple of other bugs. Lemme know.
