Description Francisco Gortázar

Steps to reproduce the problem:

1) Select a block in an editor.
2) Select Edit > Find/Replace

All the text in the editor is selected when dialog is shown, and I cannot find or replace using only the block I selected.

Still present in 4.5
I think this might be a major productivity setback in certain contexts.
Seeing that this was reported in 2010 and modified in 2012, to whom was this assigned? Is the development still active?

No one is working on this. A high quality patch is welcome.

This bug hasn't had any activity in quite some time. Maybe the problem got resolved, was a duplicate of something else, or became less pressing for some reason - or maybe it's still relevant but just hasn't been looked at yet. As such, we're closing this bug.

If you have further information on the current state of the bug, please add it and reopen this bug. The information can be, for example, that the problem still occurs, that you still want the feature, that more information is needed, or that the bug is (for whatever reason) no longer relevant.
