Description Urmas 2012-01-16 09:58:01 UTC
When replace dialog used with selected text, and 'limit to selection only' checkbox is set, the 'Replace all' button causes current selection to get lost.
Comment 1 Buovjaga 2014-11-07 09:51:33 UTC
Confirmed and set as enhancement, keeping as NEW, because I like the idea of the selection not getting lost.

I wonder if bug 81442 is the same or different?

write  bsdbsd
select all
find and replace: b > a ; current selection only
after "replace all" only the string "sdasd" is select

string "asdasd" should be selected.
