Description Péter 2021-05-08 15:33:23 UTC
Description:
When using the Find and Replace feature, searching for the letter 'a' also returns all occurrences of the letters 'å' and 'ä', and vice versa. This drastically reduces the usefulness of the feature when editing Swedish documents.

This happens both in "normal" mode and regex mode.

Note that when the Find feature correctly discriminates between the three characters.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Create a new document and type the letters aåä into it
2. Edit -> Find and Replace
3. Enter the letter a in the Find field, then click Find Next repeatedly. 

Actual Results:
The Find and Replace feature matches all three characters, although I was searching for only one of them.

Expected Results:
It would match only the first letter (a) and not the subsequent ones.


Reproducible: Always

What if you check 'Diacritic-sensitive' under 'Other options' in the 'Find and Replace' Dialog ?

Thanks for the suggestion! I did not. That solved my problem! I honestly didn't know that's what it meant. And it's curious to me that it's not enabled by default. Anyway, thanks again!
