This is not a bug. As @codebrainz said, the mark all function is a text match function, it operates the same as the equivalent functionality in applications such as firefox or chrome. This default behaviour should not change (at least without the user changing settings).
The "mark all" keybinding does not follow the options set in the find dialog box, it has fixed options. This makes sense since the search dialog options are retained from the last search and the user can't see the options when they press the mark all keybinding, so if it followed the dialog settings they would not know exactly what the keypress will do. So it is better that the keybinding does not follow the search dialog settings. The options for the "mark all" keybinding could be set in the preferences dialog separate from the search dialog. Or an alternative keybinding added for the "Mark all words" function. Pull requests are welcome. -- You are receiving this because you are subscribed to this thread.
