Kate newline replace all works

Thank you for the bug report!

"Replace all" with newline works properly here, both with version 21.12.0 and the latest dev version (see attached GIF)

I think this bug should be solved with Commit 863f606b, see bug https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447972.

Thanks for the follow-up. I confirm that Kate 22.03.70 works as expected.
