Bug in the GREP of "Find and Replace" studio

[aleale1]

There is a serious bug in the GREP find-replace studio, which can result in a huge problem with a client.
It happens when you replace text with found text, but before the “Replace all” command you check the correctness of the formula by pressing the “Replace” command a couple of times. After this, click “Replace all” and the result is catastrophic. The application inserts wrong letters.
In the attached image the “Found and replaced text” should be the same as the “Original text” without commas, but we get the wrong result (inserted letters “G” in the middle of a string and at the end not everything is OK).

Something is wrong, it is as though the replace is done with some sort of buffer counting the number of individual finds and then using that for the next n replaces. If you do a Find after the individual replaces then all is well again. Does not seem to matter what pattern I used for the search either.
