Strange Find and Replace Bug - r906
Summary:
Doing a selection based find and replace consistently inserts many lines of code when it should be only replace one word with another single word.
In my system, this happens only if you press the "replace" button, instead of the "In selection" button. Pressing the "In selection" button does what it should do.
Pressing the "replace" button, or the "replace & find" button produce this effect, regardless of what the search string is. They just replace the selected text with whatever the find window tells them to replace it by.
So this is a problem with the behavior of "replace" when there is already a selection in place. Not sure I would call it a bug actually. Ok, maybe I would. But it is not a bug with "Replace in selection". There is no "replace once in selection" option. There is only "replace all in selection", and that works fine, at least over here.
