SUMMARY After performing a replace operation in the Find/Replace in Files view, the matches from the previous search are still displayed, but it is not possible to select a match to bring it up in the text editor (useful to verify that the replace operation succeeded). STEPS TO REPRODUCE 1. Click Find/Replace in Files. 2. Click the New Search button. 3. Enter a desired pattern and click Search... 4. Matched patterns will be displayed in the Find/Replace in Files view. You can select a line to bring up the matched pattern in the text editor. 5. Enter a string in the Replacement text field and click Replace. 6. Click on one of the matched patterns (now greyed out). OBSERVED RESULT Nothing happens. EXPECTED RESULT The matched pattern (which has now been replaced) for the selected line should be displayed in a text editor. This is the behaviour in KDevelop 4.x, and is useful to verify that the replacement operation succeeded.

Thanks for following up, Justin. KDevelop 5.6.1 is in fact working as expected - double-clicking a match in the "Find/Replace in Files" view brings up the relevant line in the text editor, both before and after performing the Replace operation. I'll mark the status as resolved/fixed as someone clearly modified the behaviour since I first reported.
