Description Benjamin Volkmann CLA 2020-04-06 11:56:14 EDT 
Try replacing text found by regular expression. 

The regex will be found and the dialog will tell, that text was replaced, but nothing happened to the source file.

I used the regex replace to get rid of trailing spaces, it worked in the 2018 Photon release, but with 2020-03, that does not longer work.
The replacement string is irrelevant, as i tested not only the empty but everything else such as letters, numbers and complete words

Please provide regex used and example file that is supposed to be changed by search/replace with that regex.
