so I test by doing find replace one sentence at a time, which will take forever.

tell it to replace all within current file & sigil throws a hissy fit.

known bug or am I the lucky 1st person to try this ?

hissy fit> it puts up & fills a small progress batr that I've never seen before, then leaves a small empty window opn in fornt of main program window then goes unresponsive.

& Yes I've checked that find replace is set to normal, not to regex.

reloaded program & retried several times, no joy.
REGEX the dot is All. you need to escape it
Search: ([a-z])\.([a-z])
Replace: \1 \2 <there is a space between

Note Quote marks will mess this up
include the correct style of closing quote in the first box and Opening quote in the second box
