Regular expression Text Style Find and Replace Broken {beta 1.9.0.742}

[Old Bruce 1,279]

I am unable to use the Replace function of the Find and Replace panel for replacing Text Styles. The wrong ones come up from the list. It will find the Style or words I am looking for but selecting the replace chooses a style from higher in the list of Paragraph styles.

I do believe this happened when it was first introduced.

I'm not seeing that on Windows. Or, I don't understand what you mean

Can you provide some screenshots or further details?

Probably a Mac thing then,

I can confirm this issue for mac with beta .742
It does not occur in APub v184.

Topic Title: To me the issue doesn't seem to be related to "Regular Expressions" and occurs in the default setting "Normal".

Still broken with 1.9.0.801 wastes a lot of time.

Can confirm that Search & Replace is still broken in 1.9.0.801 -- both normal and regular expressions.

@Jon P this is still broken in 1.9.0.822

The issue raised for it is still unresolved so that would be expected. I have given it a nudge

Thanks. The way I work this bug makes the beta rather useless for working and therefore testing.
