 Hello,

 RedHat 7.2 (Default=Hungarian) + LyX 1.1.6fix4

 I reported a dangerous bug some days ago, but I made a mistake. The actual
 problem is even more dangerous:
 Enter a word into the search box AND PRESS SPACE (sorry, I wrote ENTER
in
 my previous mail).  It starts to DELETE all instances of the word you
 entered. It is dangerous if you have a long part of the document which was
 not yet saved. Because you cannot step by step undo deleting say 5000
The-s
 in a book (it would take a few hours). The other possibility is to close
the
 file without saving and opening it again without using the autosaved
version,
 which means you lost the not yet saved part of the document. So, you are
 enforced to make a choice between loosing 5000 the-s or loosing the new
 part of the text you wrote. So, you cannot search, the apple, for
example,
 because of the space.

   Hello,
  
   RedHat 7.2 (Default=Hungarian) + LyX 1.1.6fix4
  
   I reported a dangerous bug some days ago, but I made a mistake. The
   actual problem is even more dangerous:
   Enter a word into the search box AND PRESS SPACE (sorry, I wrote
   ENTER
 
  in
 
   my previous mail).  It starts to DELETE all instances of the word you
   entered. It is dangerous if you have a long part of the document which
   was not yet saved. Because you cannot step by step undo deleting say
5000
 
  The-s
 
   in a book (it would take a few hours). The other possibility is to
close
 
  the
 
   file without saving and opening it again without using the autosaved
 
  version,
 
   which means you lost the not yet saved part of the document. So, you
are
   enforced to make a choice between loosing 5000 the-s or loosing the
new
   part of the text you wrote. So, you cannot search, the apple, for
 
  example,
 
   because of the space.

Dangerous BUG: Search/Replace

2002-03-18 Thread Laszlo E Szabo

Hello,

RedHat 7.2 (Default=Hungarian) + LyX 1.1.6fix4 

I reported a dangerous bug some days ago, but I made a mistake. The actual 
problem is even more dangerous: 
Enter a word into the search box AND PRESS SPACE (sorry, I wrote ENTER in 
my previous mail).  It starts to DELETE all instances of the word you 
entered. It is dangerous if you have a long part of the document which was 
not yet saved. Because you cannot step by step undo deleting say 5000 The-s 
in a book (it would take a few hours). The other possibility is to close the 
file without saving and opening it again without using the autosaved version, 
which means you lost the not yet saved part of the document. So, you are 
enforced to make a choice between loosing 5000 the-s or loosing the new 
part of the text you wrote. So, you cannot search, the apple, for example, 
because of the space.

not yet saved. Because you cannot step by step undo deleting say 5000 "The"-s 
in a book (it would take a few hours). The other possibility is to close the 
file without saving and opening it again without using the autosaved version, 
which means you lost the not yet saved part of the document. So, you are 
enforced to make a choice between loosing 5000 "the"-s or loosing the new 
part of the text you wrote. So, you cannot search, "the apple", for example, 
because of the space.
