Yes, there is a small issue here caused by the excluded word (-ökuleyfi). Although FoxTrot should actually find documents that contain [77], [gr] and [ævilangt] in the given proximity range (15 words) with no occurrence of [ökuleyfi] in the same range (but it could occur elsewhere in the document), highlighting does not work as it should. The workaround in FoxTrot Pro is to open the document in a FoxTrot window ("view in FoxTrot Pro"), then remove the excluded word from the query string in the right pane (i.e. "{15} 77. gr. ævilangt"). This may also highlight occurrences of [77] [gr] and [ævilangt] that are actually at proximity of [ökuleyfi], but that is better of not highlighting anything at all.
Thanks for the report
