I have found a bug/misbehavior on Lyx 2.4.4(Flat-pack) and 2.4.3 on Linux mint 22.1. I think the bug is cross-platform.
Bug 1: The bug relies on the advanced find and replace. Both in math mode and regular text, but only when using regular expressions. When searching for an expression, Exp1, if that same expression is twice on the same line: - when using forward search: it selects/finds the entire text between the first and last places where Exp1 can be found. - when using backward search: finds correctly all places where Exp1 can be found + selects the entire text between each Exp1. Al tough it is still possible to use the replace option using the backward search, it is useless in the forward search mode since it deletes text. The issue gets funnier when Exp1 is 4 times in the same line. Bug 1.1: The behavior is different when using backwards search and forward search. Bug 1.2: It seems that when the Exp1 is in math-mode, it detects the expression twice, first it finds correctly the matching expression, then finds/selects the entire math-mode. I might be willing to report the bug on the website, but as claimed it is not possible to register there due to spam. Thus i reported here in case it is sufficient. In any case I'll be glad to receive a link for registration and specify the bug on the website (https://www.lyx.org/trac/wiki/BugTrackerHome) I attach a small file to reproduce the bug. Thanks for your attention.
