Updated to version 1.72.2. The issue persists.

Can you also increase the search/replace field by 20% to the left?

Are you talking about the search/replace within a file?

Or the global one?

Also, what do you mean "Toggle search area only"? How is this different than what you expect?

We currently don't have plans to change the positioning in the core editor. There may be extensions that can change that for your layout if you want.

Yep, about this subj

Also, what do you mean "Toggle search area only"?

Groups found are not replaced. Text are simply selected in turn

How is this different than what you expect?

Expected result after replacement all text

;TEST
