Description:
MySQL Workbench crashed when I try to replace text using "Replace All" button. But it doesn't happen when I use "Find and Replace" button.
I'm using V 5.2.36 rev.8542 of the MySQL Workbench..

Maybe it is caused by infinite loop.

It is not critical, but it would be bothering to replace text one by one.

How to repeat:
Copy this text,

-------
itm
itm
itm
------

And then, using find and replace feature, Enter "itm" in the text to search And enter "itmbarcde" in the text to be replaced..

It will crashed..

Suggested fix:
Maybe there should be a starting point and ending point of the replacement so it won't get trapped in infinite loop..

It's strange..
I've already used MySQL Workbench v. 5.2.36..
It is crashing my MySQL Workbench..

Are you able to provide the back trace?. Thanks.

I just did what i wrote in "How to Repeat" section..

In SQL Editor, I write

itm

Then I open Find And Replace with keyboard shortcut, "Ctrl + Shift + F"..
I write "itm" as the text to be searched..
And write "itmbarcde" as the text to replace selection with..
Then I hit "Replace All" button..
It's hangup, no respond..

But, it is strange since you said you couldn't repeat with 5.2.36, same version with mine..
Could you tell me what OS are you using?

Thank you for the feedback. I asked for the back trace because in the synopsis you wrote "...MySQL Workbench Crash" and today trying again it hangs for me, so now I am verifying it because you commented the same (changing synopsis).

Ok, thanks for your attention too..

Fixed as of 5.2.38:

On Linux and Mac OS X, the "Replace All"
search feature would hang, and not function properly.
