write "abc." in the document

open search-replace, check for regular expressions.

Search for: (a)bc\>
Replace with: $1bc

Expected: Replaced with abc
Actual result: $1bc


In my couple of tests, this is reproducible with using either \< or \> for word-end-detection.

If searching for (a)bc([.,;: ]) replacing with $1bc$2 then all works fine :D
