Description Francesco Riosa 2008-06-18 23:05:46 UTC 
Version:            (using Devel)
Compiler:          gcc version 4.3.1 (Gentoo 4.3.1 p1.0) 
OS:                Other

find/replace all dialog, even using "Plain Text" kind of search does leave some (half) "find" occurences if string to find are adiacent.

This maybe expected behaviour with regex but is un-common and tedious with plain text replace.

example 1:
replace "find" with empty string

--before-start
findfindfindfindfindfindfindfindfindfindfindfind
findfindfindfindfindfindfindfindfindfindfindfind
--before-end

--after-start
findfindfindfindfindfind
findfindfindfindfindfind
--after-end

example 2:
replace "f" with empty string
--before-start
f
ff
fff
ffff
fffff
ffffff
--before-end

--after-start

f
f
ff
ff
fff
--after-end

Confirmed. I half replace the text

Maybe I'm too impatient but I have the impression "BUG: 164410" in the commit log will not close this bug anymore. So I'm closing manually. Diff here:
