------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Mar 24 08:39:23 +0000 2008 ------- If a find and replace is performed using a regular expression and a format on the search condition, and a subsequent find and replace is performed using neither formatting nor a regular expression, the format that was originally searched on is lost when both operations are undone. This affects character formatting only, not formatting that affects an entire paragraph. There may be a more general way to characterize this problem, but I haven't investigated it to that extent. The following steps produce the error on the file that will be attached to this issue. * Open the Find and Replace box from the Edit menu. * Click "More Options" and check Regular Expressions * Enter .* under "Search for" * Click Format... On the Font tab select Italics from the Typeface menu. Click OK. * Enter <i>&</i> under "Replace with" * Click "Replace All" * Close the Find and Replace box * Re-open the Find and Replace box from the Edit menu. NB: I don't know if the issue can be reproduced without these two steps. * Enter <i> under "Search for" * Click "More Options" and click "No Format" * Enter [i] under "Replace with" * Click "Replace All" * Close the Find and Replace box * Undo both Find and Replace operations At this point the text should be in exactly the same state as it was in the beginning. Instead, all the text that was formerly in italics is now in regular text. The only exception is the text "This is an entire paragraph italicized." (In case anyone is curious, I was preparing to post the same material to two different boards, one of which allows text formatting with a limited subset of HTML, the other with BBCode. Unfortunately, in this instance I had made some minor edits to the text beforehand but neglected to save before doing these find and replaces. I therefore undid the operations so I could save the edits, only to lose all my italicized words.) --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
