I agree with st_albert. After I losing data a couple of times using v3.4, I make it a point to save prior to doing a regex. I haven't had any problems since. I have never been a fan of this "feature". If it went away I wouldn't miss it although I would use it if I could turn it off and on.

P.S. Thanks for all the good work. It is greatly appreciated.
