[Find and Replace] Infinite Loop when 'replace' text includes 'find' text

Post by cgunhouse » Sat Aug 03, 2024 5:06 pm

Hi,

If the find string is something like "object" and the replace string is "new object" and I use the REPLACE ALL option. ToDoList will continuously loop past the starting point of REPLACE ALL. It will start building up the "new" in front of "object" such as "new new new .... object" and of course not stop.

Hmm @cgunhouse , when I try to reproduce this the replacing always stops when it gets to the bottom of the tasklist or the comments.

Can you provide me a sample tasklist and an exact set of steps please, or alternatively record me a bug report (Help > Record Bug Report)...
