Description Cosmin Mihai 2012-02-18 23:08:01 UTC

Version:           unspecified (using KDE 4.8.0) 
OS:                Linux

I search backwards for a regexp in a document within a range, the match returned is always the last match of the document, not the last match of the range.
I have written a mini plugin that marks out the bug.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
Create the plugin from attached files.
Write a tag in the text field , for example <test>, then write before it another onebefore it.Let's say <test2>.You will have <test2><test>.Then look in Terminal.

Actual Results:  
You can see in the console an incorrect output(A range out of the range given as parameter).


Expected Results:  
A range within the range given as parameter or invalid range.

Comment 2 Darren Lissimore 2017-09-19 08:22:15 UTC

This actually still appears to be happening in Kate 17.08.1

Is regex searching within a range disabled for some reason? 

Test procedure:
a) Open html file - with lots of <div> tags .
b) Open Find bar - switch to power-search/replace
c) Set Mode to "Regular expression"
d) Enter '[ \t]{0,}(</div>)' in Find box
e) Select a range of the html file - lines X to X+y
   ( ensuring multiple </div> tags are in the selected range)
f) Ensure - "search in selection only" is on;
g) Press enter to find first occurrence - of the tag (should succeed)
h) Press enter again - should advance to next tag  ( Does not succeed)

Removing the "search in selection only" - and the "find next" "find previous" work well. 
With the "search in selection only" - it finds the first occurrence then no more. 

Problem may be in KateSearchBar::find() - and it's checks on regex mode and selection with multi-line matching

Is that still an issue or solved?
Seems to work here.
