           Summary: bug in block selection mode and replacement in Kate
           Product: kde
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Ubuntu Packages
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED

Kate 3.3.2 (KDE 4..3.2)
Kubuntu karmic koala
Description: Ubuntu 9.10
Release: 9.10
kate:
  Installed: 4:4.3.2-0ubuntu1

The bug happens when I do block selection (CTRL+SHIFT+B) and replacement in
Kate:

I select a column that I want to replace, I set the "Selection only" option and
click on "Replace All" (if I use the simple "Replace" nothing happens, the bug
may rather be this one), and then it does the replacement.

The column is correctly replaced, but the problem is that any occurrence of the
item to be replaced in a further column (that should stay unchanged) will also
be replaced. It's annoying, since I use extensively this feature...

An example: I want to change the first column of integer from "1" to "2"

# ----------
# Start point
aa 1 2
ab 1 3
ac 1 1
ad 1 1
ae 1 4
# ----------

The expected result is
# ----------
# expected
aa 2 2
ab 2 3
ac 2 1
ad 2 1
ae 2 4
# ----------

But the resulting block replacement is
# ----------
# actual block replacement
aa 2 2
ab 2 3
ac 2 2
ad 2 2
ae 2 4
# ----------

Note that the occurrence of "1" in the third column has also changed to "2",
what is not intended.

Hope you can improve this! BTW is Kate still developed or the project is
stopped?

Best regards,

           Anastaze
