Bug ID: 365642
Summary: behavior of search and replace with escape sequences
is wrong and changes from one run to another
Product: kate
Version: unspecified
Platform: Other
OS: Linux
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: NOR
Component: search
Assignee: kwrite-bugs-n...@kde.org
Reporter: kdeb...@toeai.com
As observed in Kate 16.04.1 on Manjaro 64-bit and in 3.14.13 on Ubuntu 32-bit.
The behavior is slightly different with respect to the incorrect number of
finds (see below), but it's always wrong and changes in both.
Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Make and open a file consisting of 64 newline characters (65 lines), e.g.:
$ printf '\n%.0s' {1..64} > kate-bug-test.txt
$ kate kate-bug-test.txt
2. Press Ctrl-R
Find: \n
Replace: ====\n
Mode: Escape Sequences
click Replace All
3. Close search, press Ctrl-Z to undo.
4. Repeat steps 2-3 several times.
Actual Results:
YMMV. For me:
On the newer version:
- cursor position doesn't seem to matter
- 1st time it finds 32 (all the odd-numbered).
- 2nd time it finds 1 (line 64).
- 3rd and following it finds 0.
On the older version:
- 1st time finds 32 (odd lines 1-63)
- 2nd time finds 32 (line 1, even lines 4-64)
- 3rd time finds 31 (line 1, odd lines 5-63)
- 4th time finds 31 (line 1, even lines 6-64)
- 5th time finds 30 (line 1, odd lines 7-63)
- 6th time finds 30 (line 1, even lines 8-64)
etc.
Expected Results:
Should find and replace '\n' with '====\n' 64 times.
