so I have a book conversion where there is no space between sentences, & the obvious fix is to find all full stops & replace with full stop + space.

to fix sentence end.Sentence start

needs to be done chapter by chapter in book view otherwise it will screw with HTML but I can accept that.

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.
