Question - IDE Does "Search and Replace" not work ?

Hi folks, as per the title, does "Search and Replace" not work ? I have been trying for the last hour to replace some text in my game. It finds and lists every instance of the words in the output window. It then replaces all the text with new text in the output window. But none of the code actually changes.

I've cleaned the cache and reloaded numerous times etc. Is this a known thing ? Am I f**king something up ?

Just to make sure: You are clicking "Replace All", not "Find All", correct?

Works fine for me.

Which version are you on?

Does this work in a freshly created project, or is it local to one specific project?

Ok so I worked out .... It simply will not replace code in a DnD code window ... which is kinda strange since it replaces variable references in DnD action boxes, and it used to work fine in GMS 1. If I convert the DnD code to GML is works, but only then. So that's a really shi**y thing.

Anyways ... thanks TsukaYuriko for at trying to help out.

Please file a bug report about it. This sounds like a bug and it definitely should be fixed, but won't be if YYG don't know about it! :)
