The IDE is still treating the text as image file when doing find('text').

how to switch on text features in IDE ?
do I need to launch it with ocr option?

I have installed it with all options enabled including the OCR feature

I have turned on the text search on IDE preferences.

I've add at the top of the IDE screen to turn on OCR search.
Settings.OcrTextRead=True
Settings.OcrTextSearch=True

btw, print SCREEN.text() works in my IDE.

has nothing to do with the mentioned bug.

Be sure, you have setup final 1.1.0 with option 3.

alternatively with final 1.1.0 you might try
findText("Next")

which instantly switches to text search and does not try to interpret the given text as image filename.
