Replace bug in editor

[anonymous]

when using the replace function there is a strange fenominon.

when you enter a word and a word to replace, click on replace without selecting any other fields.

click replace again, the same section is always targetted...

example.

Type in editor

oor
oor1
oor2
oor3

Now search and replace oor by koor ....

Click on replace, then replace, then replace

The system will keep changing the first word and will not continue to the next one like (I think) it's supposed to

thank in advance

The current replace algorithm works by simply scanning from the beginning of the document in a depth first search. So, in your oor -> koor test case, the algorithm would keep replacing the "oor" in the newly generated "koor" strings.

The replace function in FCKeditor can be made more similar to that in MS Word by remembering the last replace position, for replace operations happening in the same replace dialog.

Fixed with [408].

Oops... It is only working in Firefox, it's not working in Internet Explorer or Opera yet. Ticket reopened.

With changeset [410], the new replace code is now compatible with Internet Explorer and Opera.
