Find Replace ignored if replacing code #1270

Please read http://code.google.com/p/sigil/wiki/ReportingIssues for
information about submitting a good bug report.

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. I am trying to remove tags such as 

<strong> 
   <br clear="ALL" /> 

</strong>
2. The code is not nested in <p> </p> tags and even with the HTML tidy and 
search for well-formed errors on, it does not correct it.

3. I Try to replace the incorrect string with nothing and SIGIL ignores the 
request

If the code is like this on the page then it does not find or replace, and 
SIGIL won't reorganize the code.

<strong>
     <br clear="ALL"/>
</strong>

When I split the pages then SIGIL puts it on one line, that I can delete.

<strong><br clear="ALL" /></strong>

the issue is that I receive copy from clients and they have pagebreaks in their 
copy.  The pagebreaks come in with this clear all -- which I need to remove.

this may be just a weird anomaly - but thot I would let you know -- have 
several clients that have stated this is an issue with their version as well 
(Windows and Mac)

...

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

i expect it to replace the code I have highlighted with my replace request.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?

Sigil 5.2

Mac OS 7 Lion

Additionally, if it says -- fix manually, it won't let me get to the page to 
fix it. So I have to select automatic, which isn't what I want to do.

This isn't a bug - you can ask for help at the MobileRead forum.

Try using \s for the spaces between tags, or if using Regex .* use Regex DotAll 
mode.

If you still think its a real issue, attach a small example file and your exact 
search string.
