I have not had any success with the "Find and Replace" tool. Is this a known issue? Is there anywhere you can go to see what has been reported and what has not, other than here in the forums?
Thank you for sharing that information.
Trying a number of times with that document, I saw some cases where Find and Replace worked correctly - but I also saw cases where it did not find anything.
When I see it not working, I can create a new document, fill a rectangle with CMYK Red, then try Find and Replace after specifying the fill to find by sampling that rectangle - and have it find nothing!
One observation that seems to be consistent for me is that, if I launch CorelDRAW using "F8" to reset the workspace to default, I can open that document and use Find and Replace to successfully replace a color - at least once.
Here's a video showing it working after an "F8" workspace reset - and then failing when I try the same operation on a second copy of the document - and then failing on a newly-created document:

Thanks for testing it out- I really appreciate it. I feel better that the issue is not isolated to me only. It looks like a bug that needs to be resolved in an update. I just hope Corel Technical Support see this post:)
I know the feeling. It is pretty grim when something that matters to you doesn't work, and there is no way of knowing whether it is even considered to be a "known problem".
I experimented some more with some very simple files, and saw some strange behavior. In some cases, the Replace operation finds nothing - but if I move an object on the page a little bit and then try again, the Replace works.
X7 Alt - R works great! eye dropper selection also good for replacement colour selection. X9 Alt -R not an option? Ctrl - F select colour button and eye dropper works fine first time. Select second colour and "No objects can be found"?? Thanks. Use the feature a lot as processing client files and sending to rip. All colours need to be 100 B&W.
I have the same issue. Replace color works only once for me and " Find all" function is endless, it just keeps finding and finding.
