Find and replace not working when formatting search criteria at the same time

When using search and replace with the following expresion: ( \s\w{1,10}[[:punct:]]$ ) and no formating search criteria all works fine.

 

the expresion selects all words at the end of a paragraph followed by a "."

Hi Eduardo and welcome to the forum. I'm unable to duplicate this with 2.0.3 but I'm on macOS whereas you're on Windows. Perhaps another Windows user could give this a test.

Note for those testing this - there has to be a paragraph return after the period to match correctly. A test doc attached. Doing a regex search for the included string which you can copy from the document's first line with the paragraph style Bullet 1 should result in 4 results as shown here.

Was able to get it working on my Windows machine. Had it replace formatting only for styles that I told it to search. Affinity 2.0.3 

Thanks for letting us know.

Cheers
