Working with 9.1.1 today I had occasion to use the global search and replace utility built into the Editor++. In this instance I was replacing one resource string with references to another. The search found six programs so I selected them all and told the editor to go ahead and do the replace.
Imagine my surprise to find that what actually happened was that the six programs were completely replaced with blank rows other than the line to be changed. This was definitely not the result I had wanted - especially as it also compiled the programs (at my request) thereby wiping out the existing object code.
Revelation are aware of the issue and hopefully it will be fixed in 9.2. In the meantime exercise extreme caution if using this utility.

Sources at Revelation (and the 9.2 README) indicate that this has been fixed in 9.2.
