Build ID: 20090611-1022

From bug 48463: "the selection is only processed as 'lines'. If I selected a non-
complete line this is because I wish that to be the scope. This can be useful
within expressions, and precision on the user's exact selection may be a
requirement (as opposed to incorrectly altering all the other terms on the
line)."

1. Select a part of a line
2. Open Find/Replace dialog
3. Set scope to "Selected lines"
Expected result: the find/replace only works on the selected part
Actual result: the selection is changed to the whole line

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
