Description Thomas Whitmore CLA 2004-05-26 02:57:22 EDT 
Search and Replace for selected lines incorrectly replaces beyond the selection.

The Search dialog and functionality has for a long time been one of the weak 
points of Eclipse.

All I want is the ability to replace TWO different-case variants of the same 
text, in the exact selection I have highlighted, without the dialog or 
selection being smart (stupid) switched to incorrect settings.

So I am frustrated that major unreliability is still present in what should be 
simple, straightforward and functional.


Also: 

The 'selection by line boundaries' idea needs to go. It is a major offense to 
users when their selection is partial-line and your dialog disregards or 
damages code by ignoring this.

3m9 by the way.
Comment 2 Thomas M??der CLA 2004-05-26 03:46:25 EDT 
Can you please provide steps? Which dialog are you using, what are you searching
for and what do you replace it with?

Also: I don't understand what the selection has to do with this.
Comment 3 Dani Megert CLA 2004-05-26 04:04:13 EDT 
I assume you are talking about Find/Replace, right?

Tom,

please check whether we broke this with recent changes
Comment 4 Tom Hofmann CLA 2004-05-26 04:14:19 EDT 
reproducable with I20040525
Comment 5 Tom Hofmann CLA 2004-05-26 04:20:09 EDT 
should be adressed for 3.0
Comment 6 Tom Hofmann CLA 2004-05-26 05:10:04 EDT 
happens if projection mode is used. fixed not respecting the scope > 20040526.

For the usability problems with the scope (and the scope being replaced /
deselected autmagically) see:

you already filed bug 48463 for the "entire line selection"
bug 45658 deselection of the scope

marking as fixed as the bug with the scope is fixed.

Ladies & Gentlemen: the bug still lives in official release 3.0
;JOOP!
Comment 17 J.F.Lanting CLA 2004-08-26 01:41:27 EDT 
I noticed that this bug was NOT fixed in the official release 3.0
but (silently) in M3.1
Although I appreciate that, I would like to see this reflected in this bug list
or in a "what's new" that seems to be missing this time.
Any way, a reason for upgrade and test.
Thanks so far.
;JOOP!
