Hi,

I'm currently using quanta3, and i noticed a bug in how quanta handles string find & replace.

I'm aware that quanta3 is no-longer under active development, but i just wanted to report the bug incase it's been integrated into quanta4.

If i search for a character/string, quanta locates one, however it then performs the replacement based upon the exact locate/range that the text resides in the document.

For example:

Document:

<html>
<body>
hello my name is matthew
<body>
</html>

If Find/Replace with and "Prompt on replace" is set, the find engine locates , memorises its exact location within the document and then waits until the replace button is clicked.

However, if after its found but before i click replace, i then remove id="1" from the element, upon clicking replace, the document would look like the following:

<html>
<body>
hello my is matthew
</body>
</html>

Because quanta simply replaces the space that resided in, rather than marking the located and then replacing the marked , if the location of moves, quanta replaces the wrong characters.

I'm not very good at explaining myself, so i've attached screen shots.

Thanks,

Matthew Millar
