Bug ID: 448320
Summary: Newline search/replace only replaces first instance in
"RegExp" mode
Product: frameworks-ktexteditor
Version: 5.90.0
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: REPORTED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: general
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Target Milestone: ---
SUMMARY
When using the escape sequence '\n' as the "Find" entry in either Kate or
Kwrite, choosing to "Replace All" only replaces the first instance. "Find All"
will correctly report the number of newlines in the file/selection.
The behavior is correct when operating in "Escape sequences" mode. It appears
that only the "RegExp" mode is broken this way. Possibly related to:
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=447972. The total number of lines in the
file/selection doesn't matter this way around, though. The replacement always
only affects the first occurrence.
OBSERVED RESULT
Only the first "found" instance is replaced.
EXPECTED RESULT
All "found" instances are replaced.
