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".
