Summary: replace (Ctrl-h) doesn't highlight text

Initial Comment:
The search-and-replace function in IDLE 1.0 doesn't 
always highlight the current selection.

So you can only guess which particular occurrence of 
the search string is about to be replaced.

I think it depends on whether the selected text follows 
a certain string.

I looked a bit closer:
Text in strings (i.e. green text) is not highlighted.

**** BEGIN Example ****
#try to change "myfunc"
def myfunc():
    "myfunc takes no parameters"
**** END Example ****

It works in the comment and in def, but not in the string (I 
use Python-2.3.2-1 on WinXP).
