Send what you searched for, and the results, to [email protected]. Indicate that you were trying to do a find and replace on an Apex, and note your version of keysoft. If possible, save a small sample of the file to a new file and see if the bug occurs in that snippet. If it does, send the snippet along and say exactly what string you used to search for, then ask if they can try that same string on the snippet file attached. If the bug does not happen in the snippet file, indicate this as well. Thanks.
