           Summary: Replace all can't work when the found text is \n\n
           Product: kde
           Version: 3.5
          Platform: Unlisted Binaries
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: unassigned-bugs at kde.org
        ReportedBy: jfvelez at teleline.es


Version:           3.5 (using KDE 4.5.0) 
OS:                Linux

Frequently, I need to erase empty lines in a text document. In order to do that
I search for \n\n and replace all by nothing. Kate accept \n when you mark the
mode "escape sequences". 

Now, this functionality is impossible. The problem is due an automatism
included in an earlier version. Kate mark "selection only" option automatically
when several paragraphs are selected. And several paragraphs are selected when
the first string is found. So, kate can't replace in all document, because only
find the first selection.

Reproducible: Didn't try

Steps to Reproduce:
Write all this text in kate, maintaining the empty lines.

Find \n\n and replace by nothing using mode "escape sequences".

You will find that the first empty line are deleted.

Now, pulse next buttom. You will notice that nothing is selected because
"selection only" option has been automatically marked.

If you try "replace all" occurs random actions over the text.

Actual Results:  
Only the first empty line is deleted or occur random actions.

Expected Results:  
The empty lines are deleted.
