Description Leo Savernik 2005-12-05 22:24:56 UTC
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.0)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources

I use tagging parenthesis in a regexp search & replace operation, kregexpeditor will not preserve the tagging parenthesis.

Given the following regexp, entered into the result line of kregexpeditor

\d*(\d{3})

will correctly draw all regexp elements except of the tagging parenthesis. This is not necessarily bad per se.

However, when I accept the regexp to be inserted into the search line of the replace dialog,

[\d]*[\d]{3,3}

is inserted. However, the correct result should be

[\d]*([\d]{3,3})

Otherwise, you cannot match the tags in the replace section.

This is definitely a bug that must be fixed.

I also suggest that tags are represented graphically (though this is more of a wishlist item than a bug report)

If the origin Members still active on this or have an Ticket, MR or PR (as in Invent or on the Kanban), can you insert it to the Bug Report?
Thank you for the bug report. Unfortunately we were not able to get to it yet. Can we ask you to please check if this is still an issue with either Plasma 5.27 (the current LTS version) or Plasma 6.3 (the latest released version).
