using the search and replace toolbar button in IE is broken.
REPLICATION
- fire up IE
- open https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Software_bug?action=edit
- open "Advance" toolbar
- press the "search and replace" button
- enter "bug" for "search" and "bug" for "replace" (without the quotes)
- press "replace all"
- after the replace is complete, press "Show Changes"
WHAT YOU EXPECT
nothing should change
WHAT YOU SEE
the page gets trashed.
problem exists when running legit replaces also, but replacing a string with itself makes it the most obvious.
peace.
