How to reproduce: Create file with a line in format: x=yyyyyyyyyyyyyy .... yyyyyyyy (the string x=should be followed by 2000 characters ""y"") Jump to first char in file and press F4 (Search and replace). Type ""^x=.*$"" in the search string, leave replacement string blank and tick ""Regular expression"" toggle. This regexp is supposed to replace the mentioned line with nothing (i.e. delete it :). Actually, only first 1024 characters of the line are deleted, rest of the line remains. This can lead to file corruption if you do ""replace all without prompting"" and notice this bug too late (i.e. after you have saved the file). }}} " defect closed major 4.7 mcedit fixed no branch
