Dear Maintainer,
* What led up to the situation?
I was using meld and wanted to modify long lines via
meld's search-and-replace to be able to diff them
visually.
* What exactly did you do (or not do) that was effective (or
ineffective)?
I entered the following line: xaxaxa
Then hit CTRL+H, entering a in the search field and \n
in the replace field. I checked the Regular expression
flag. Then I hit replace once and replace-all once.
* What was the outcome of this action?
The text transformed in the following way:
x
x\nx\n
* What outcome did you expect instead?
I expected the following:
x
x
