I could not reproduce this. Could you please give a step by step example of what you did to trigger it? I used a text file with (created with echo 'try to replace me \t' >test_file): try to replace me \t And replaced "me" with \t, if "Use escape sequences" was not checked it inserted a literal \t, else it inserted a tab. Using \\t and "Use escape sequences" it inserted the literal \t else it inserted the literal \\t. I even tried replacing the literal \t in the file using \t and no "Use escape sequences", and \\t and "Use escape sequences". Everything worked as expected, so the exact case you are seeing might be necessary to reproduce this? Thanks for your report and I hope you have time to lend another hand on this.
