I seem to be having some problem with find/replace... For example, when I'm cleaning an ePub output by InDesign, I want to remove all the 'xml:lang="fr-ca"' added by ID, so I do a simple find/replace on all files and Sigil will tell me the job is done when I still see some occurences right in front of my eyes on the open file, occurences that Sigil doesn't find.

If I then open another file and do the global find/replace again, it will finally find the first missed occurences. It is a strange issue that happens regularly but not all the time, I don't know how to replicate it exactly, and I'm not that sure what I'm trying to explain is very clear.

Has anyone encountered this problem? It's quite annoying because some time I think I have fixed all the non-breaking spaces and things like that and I start reading the book and find that Sigil has not replaced all occurences...

Oh, and I had the same problem with 0.4.2 so maybe this is not the good place to post this...

Thanks in advance for any help,
Well, the problem occurs again once in a while even when I place the cursor right at the start of a file. See image 1, where I just clicked the "count" button, and Sigil tells me 0 match found — when we explicitly see a couple of matches right there...

And then — image 2 —, I open another file, press again the count button, and it finds 21 matches of the searched string...

Once it found the matches in the second file, I can go back to the original file and if I press "count" again it will find them correctly.

Any idea what's going on?
