<Replace All> randomly appends or deletes characters #3258

I used Navigation->Search -> Replace All It most of the cases the string was replaced properly, however in some cases: it was not replaced in other cases is was replaced but it added extra characters.

I attached an image and highlighted some examples: Look for "Don't know" and/or "Prefer not to answer"

The source file was created by Oracle APEX 4.1 Any help will be much appreciate it

Regards Gerardo.

Thank you for reporting this. Can you please give a bit more information?

What was the search string and what was the replacement string?
What file format was this?

gmondrag commented 7 years ago

Sure, "Don't know" must be replace by "Ne sais pas" "Prefer not to answer" must be replace by "Préfère ne pas répondre" As you can see in the image some are correct and some are wrong. The file was generated by Oracle APEX 4.1 and it's a xlf file. Translation is from English to French.

thanks Gerardo.
