Public bug reported: Binary package hint: gedit
When using the search dialog in gedit, escape sequences are handled inconsistently. E.g. \t is expanded to a tabular while \f is treated as two letters \ and f. Steps to reproduce: 1. Open a new document. 2. Type in: ---------------------------------------- \true arbitrary text \false arbitrary text ---------------------------------------- 3. Search for "\false" -> "\false" is found 4. Search for "\true" -> nothing found !!! 5. Search for "\\true" -> "\true" is found Expected behaviour: "\true" and "\false" should be treated the same. Searching for "\true" should yield "\true".
