Problem Description

find and replace ignores "Only search for whole words" when doing "Replace all occurences". Only the correct occurences are highlighted and if I replace them one by one then all is fine. The problem is just with "Replace all occurences".

What steps reproduce the problem?

1. Write in a new file

aaa
aaa2

2. Open find and replace. Write aaa in the find line. Write aaa3 in the replace line.
3. Check "Only search for whole words". Only aaa is highlighted.
4. Press "Replace all occurences".

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?

Expected:

aaa3
aaa2

I get

aaa3
aaa32
