leafpad find and replace issue

Post by HerrBert »

Hello.

Have to try to explain my issue with Find and Replace in leafpad.

Replacing string by Find and Replace single matches fails and the replace string is pre-/appended to the search string.
In this example i want to replace ${color} with ${color0}

When trying to replace a string, i can only replace all matches at once. This action can only be done once. Replacing another string in the same session fails and the replace string is appended to the search string.

I can reproduce this misbehavior in Slacko64 700, Bionicpup64 and Fossapup64.

IIRC, this is a known issue in many other Puppies, but not in Slacko 6.3.2, which i'm using as my main OS since late 2016.

Did a search in old murga-linux forum with no result...
Does anybody know how to solve this in distros other than Slacko 6.3.2?

Get the same behaviour in Fatdog. The Leafpad version is 0.8.18.1.

I just tried your example in my WeeDogLinux Arch64 installation, which has leafpad version 0.8.18.1. The problem you describe didn't arise.

Forgot to mention leafpad version in Slacko64 700, Bionicpup64 and Fossapup64 is 0.8.18.1, in Slacko 6.3.2 (32 & 64 bit) it's 0.8.17

Now also tested in ScPup64 successful with leafpad 0.8.18.1

Could be some sort of mismatch with certain versions of GTK
Might be worth compiling version 0.8 17 to see if that works in Puppies which display the bug in 0.8.18.1

I had tried compiling both those versions on Fatdog, and also an older one (0.7.9) but no change.

Came across this bug report (and another). Leafpad heading for obsolescence it seems...

https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1134816

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugrepo ... bug=913765

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... ug/1263064

https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+sour ... bug/443302

Claimed fixed:

https://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=5831

I suspect some distros are using a patched version that fixes things.
