Description:
In "Find and Replace" window dialog, Replace tab, button Replace All doesn't replace anything, if field "Replace" is empty. In the same time button "Replace Next" works correct.

How to repeat:
Type in query editor "test".
Open "Find and Replace" window on Replace tab.
Write into editbox "Find" text "ex".
Leave editbox Replace empty.
Press button "Replace All".
No replacements will occur.

Thank you for the problem report. Please, check if the same problem still happens with a newer version, 5.2.38.

Problem is reproduced on last (5.2.38 CE revision 8753) version of Workbench, too.

You probably meant "es", not "ex"... Anyway, verified with 5.2.38 on Windows XP. My initial test was on Mac OS X that is not affected by this bug.

This has been fixed as of the soon-to-be-released Workbench 5.2.41, and 
here's the changelog entry:

The "Replace All" option would not function
when the replacement string was empty.
