Build Identifier: 20100617-1415 Search for ".*" (Regular expressions) in any text file. After finding the first match (i.e. the current line), the search refuses to find any more. Same with ".{0,}". Note that ".+", ".{1,}", "..*" all work fine. Note: found this whilst trying to use the recipe for finding lines that don't contain a string, i.e: "^((?!regexp).)*$" A work-round in this case was to use "^((?!regexp).)+$" instead. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Find/Replace: Find: ".*" ; Regular expressions=selected 2. Press Find; first match found OK 3. Press Find again - no match found
