Hi Detlev, if I select multiple lines I can replace in selection only just flagging the appropriate checkbox. But if I select part of a line the "Selection only" checkbox is inactive. Is there a reason? Thanks Leo Versions: Python 2.6.4 Qt 4.5.2 PyQt 4.6 sip 4.9.1-snapshot-20091015 QScintilla 2.4 eric4 4.4.17 (r4101)
