[Message part 1 (text/plain, inline)]

Put the attached 3 files, `f1.cpp`, `f2.cpp` and `TAGS` into an empty
folder.

 

Do:

1) find-file f1.cpp (C-x C-f)

2) tags-query-replace ITracks JTracks

    There are 4 occurrences that are changed

3) tags-query-replace JTracks ITracks

     There are 2 occurrences that are changed, and it reports "Replaced 0
occurrences" 

 

It should have found the remaining 2 occurrences and the reported number of
0 is wrong.

 

Hope you can reproduce this.

Thanks for your bug report.  I can indeed reproduce this with Emacs 27.2, 
but not with the development version of Emacs, so this bug has apparently 
already been fixed.  I did not find a workaround for Emacs 27.2 alas, even 
saving both buffers and manually re-running etags does not fix the bug.

The workaround for Emacs 27 is to go to BOB in every file that was
visited by the original replace.

Indeed, that works, thanks.  For Bob Floyd: "go to BOB" is not a reference 
to your first name ;-), it means "go to the beginning of buffer", for 
example with M-<.

Awh, shucks, I was flattered for a moment.

How stable is the development version? Or, will I be disappointed if I use
it for work? Or, how soon will the development version become 27.3?

The issue is driving me nuts and the workaround ....

Thanks,
BOB

I suggest to try.  there's no simple answer, because no one knows your
use patterns and workflows, nor your sensitivity to "stability"
problems.

> Or, how soon will the development version become 27.3?

It will become Emacs 28.1, and that is still far away.

Rather stable, I'd say; I use it for work.  The development version will 
become Emacs 28, I have no idea when, but not soon.

Is there any plan to backport the fix, or should this bug report be
closed?

That's a long time to wait using an editor that fails to find strings - both
`tags-query-replace` and `tags-search` exhibit the brokenness. How about
considering a 27.3 released soon?

I don't think this is important enough to justify backporting, and I
don't think there will be Emacs 27.3 anyway.

Closing.

We don't plan on doing that.

How about patching your Emacs 27.2 with the change that fixed that on
master?

Like Eli, I'd suggest you try to use the pretest Emacs 28, it's available 
at https://alpha.gnu.org/gnu/emacs/pretest/windows/emacs-28/ .
