Replace All Wreaks Havoc!

Khadrelt · February 26, 2007, 6:43pm

I found something strange. While typing in Scrivener in fullscreen mode, I eventually decided that I didn’t like the main charater’s name and did a Find and Replace, using Replace All to change all occurrences of the name.

After I did that, I found that for some reason the last two paragraphs I had written had been deleted. I hit command-Z to undo, but while it DID undo the name changes, it did NOT restore the deleted paragraphs. So I hit Undo again, but nothing happened, and when I went to the Edit menu Undo was grayed out. So those paragraphs were forever lost…until I retyped them.

So a couple of paragraphs were lost. Big deal. But then, a while later, I decided I still didn’t like the name, so I did Replace All once again. And again, the last couple of paragraphs I had writted were deleted. I tried Undo, but it did not restore them no matter how many times I tried to Undo.

And then the REALLY weird thing happened. I hit Escape to exit fullscreen mode, and lo and behold, the ENTIRE section I had been working on was gone!

I tried switching to other sections and switching back, no luck. I couldn’t Undo. Finally I closed the entire document, and when I reopened it the lost section was back! All but the last couple of paragraphs, that is…

I tried to reproduce it by typing a short story featuring a fellow named Bubba. After a few paragraphs, I did Replace All to change the name to Cletus. It seemed to work okay.

Then I wrote a few more and changed the name to Harry. This time, it only changed the last couple of instances of Cletus to Harry, and when I exited fullscreen the whole story was gone. After closing and reopening the project, however, it was back. I couldn’t make it delete the last couple of paragraphs again, though, but it may have had something to do with the length of the story.

P.S. This also happened when not in Fullscreen mode.

EDIT: One more thing. When I tried to reopen the Bubba project after closing it, Scrivener crashed. When I reopened Scrivener and then the Bubba project, the section was still intact. This only happened once out of several attempts, however.

Clearly this sounds like a bug, though I need a little more info.

When you say “Replace All”, do you mean Find > Project Replace or Find > Find & Replace All (the former applying to the whole project, the latter applying to the current document). Project Replace warns you that the replace cannot be undone, so perhaps you are talking about the latter?

Could you reproduce this bug? For instance, could you create a test project in which this bug occurs which you could send me so that I can test it and fix it? Or could you give me exact, step-by-step instructions on how to reproduce this bug on a new project? I have used and tested Replace All on a number of projects and never had a problem, so more info would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks!

I will you exactly how to reproduce this bug.

I created a new project called Bubba.scriv.
In the Untitled document, I typed this:

Bubba got up.
Bubba ate a moldy burrito.
Bubba got sick.

After that, I hit Command-F to bring up the Find window (not Project Replace). Then I told it to find Bubba and replace it with Cletus, and clicked ‘Replace All.’ Bang, it did it. I closed the Find window.

Then I typed this:

Cletus had to go to the hospital.
Cletus had his stomach pumped.

Then I hit Command-F again. This time I told it to find Cletus and replace it with BillyBob, and hit Replace All. And it worked. But THEN I told it to find BillyBob and replace it with William (without closing the Find window first), and nothing happened! I closed the Find window, and found that I couldn’t insert my cursor into the document. I clicked on Draft, and then back on Untitled, and all of the text was gone.

At this point I closed the project and then double-clicked on Bubba.scriv. Scrivener crashed. I reopened Bubba.scriv, and the text was there, with William in place of the last BillyBob (but the other BillyBobs were not changed). I did all this without trying to Undo, as I had before, so I repeated the above while trying to Undo the changes. The Undo worked fine. I have still not been able to reproduce the strange deletion of text I experienced before.

I also tried closing the Find window between replacing Cletus with BillyBob and BillyBob with William, but it still blew up.

Here is the crash log, if it helps:

Thanks. Haven’t tried it yet, but I’ve just copied and pasted your info to the 1.02 list of things to investigate.
Thanks again and all the best,
Keith

I just ran through the instructions and was unable to reproduce this problem in any way. Hopefully the crash log has something telling within it.

Khadrelt · February 27, 2007, 2:55am

Thought maybe it was just my laptop, but I tried it on my Intel iMac and got the exact same results.

I also tried that exact sequence in TextEdit, but it did not happen there, so I don’t think it’s a problem with the OSX text system.

I tried something else, too. All the typing isn’t necessary. I just typed this:

Bubba ate a moldy burrito.

Then I hit Command-F and did the Replace All with different names. The first two times it worked fine, but the third time this bug showed up. It always happens on the THIRD ‘replace all.’

Interesting. I’ve managed to reproduce it. It seems that the third global replace using command-F doesn’t work. It just error beeps and is suceeded by some odd behaviour, screen redraw issues and an application crash.

As usual, I went on too long and then went back to the problem and discovered more. Skip way down to Edit/Edit if you want.

I’m having problems, too. I’m using an Inteil iMac.

I tried a “replace all” using the line “Bubba ate a moldy burrito.” The first time I chose replace all, Scrivener quit. I closed out, tried a second replace all and that one worked. I tried another replace all and nothing happened - no replacement, nothing.

This is hard to remember, because things happened too fast, but I did something, like try to go to another document and come back, and after I did, my text disappeared. I quit Scrivener and came back in and the text was there again, with the change made.

I closed out completly, came back and opened a new document with a new sentence. I replaced one word and it worked. I closed the find/replace dialog and reopened it, then tried to replace the replaced word with another. The “replace all” button depressed, but no change happened in the document.

The find dialog is acting funny now - I type in the word to change and a replacement word and the “replace all” button is grayed out. I close the dialog box and now it won’t open again and the application has locked up. I closed out of the program and went back in, and the change had been made.

Something else that’s odd. If I just use regular “replace”, the word is replaced. If I click on “replace” again with the find dialog box still open, the word I’m substituting is added to the text. If I hit replace again, the word is added again. I could do that all night, but I had to give up sometime.

To sum it up, various odd things happen, not always after the same number of repetitions and not always the same odd thing. I tried one more round of “replace all” and it worked just fine this time. Go figure.

I tried to do these things in Text Edit and it is working okay.

Edit: Keith, Maria and I had a problem once where we inadvertently created a new file and deleted it before we had named it. You said this caused an instability in the system, although it didn’t show up until later. This bug has the same flakiness to it. I don’t know if that helps, but maybe it will.

Edit/Edit: In a more controlled manner, I opened a new project and in the new untitled file, typed two sentences that contained several of the same words.

I replaced different words each time with new words and closed the find box after each set of replacements.

The first time or two, the replacements worked. The third time (or once, the second), nothing seemed to happen after I clicked on replace all (no changes to the text on screen.) When I exited Scrivener and came back, the changes had been made.

But … several times I made changes, only one of the words to replace was found and the other was missed. When I went out of Scrivener and went back in, the unchanged word had indeed remained unchanged.

I created new files between each group of find/replace actions and I exited Scrivener after I created the new files, just to be sure that had no effect on the problem.

In Text Edit, I did manage (once) to have it miss one instance of a word in a find and replace. I closed out and went back, and it still missed replacing that word. I couldn’t duplicate this, however.

A final note. I tried replacing a word without closing the find box in both Scrivener and Text Edit, then tried to replace the word I’d just replaced with another. That worked in Text Edit, but nothing seemed to happen in Scrivener. I closed out of Scrivener and went back, and one of the two instances of the word had been changed (the second one), but the first had not. In the problem I had with Text Edit, it was also the first instance that was missed.

Text Edit was able to make multiple replacements without closing the dialog box, but Scrivener never could.

And finally, I did manage to duplicate the Text Edit problem after a number of tries. Again, it was the first word that was missed - in this case, the first word in the document. It appears there may be some random bug in both, but it’s much worse in Scrivener and easy to duplicate there.
