Subject: bug#45607: 27.1; compiled replace-string breaks repeat-complex-command
Date: Sat, 02 Jan 2021 01:04:30 -0800

Interactive commands that act on the region are handled specially such
that when repeated with `repeat-complex-command`, the repeated command
uses the current region rather than the region used for the previous
invocation of the command.

`replace-string` does not respect this; it uses the previous region when
repeated with `repeat-complex-command`.

Note that loading `replace-string` from source (rather than byte
compiled) fixes this problem.  So it's probably a problem with byte
compiled commands.

I swear I filed a bug for this a long time ago, and I can't remember if
it's a regression or it hasn't landed in a release yet.  I can't find
the original bug.
