Yes, disabling “Additional lines to search RegEx : 10”
helps here.

This means that ?-sign didn’t switch non-greedy.
EmEditor still search for the longest match and
search for my 10+ lines.

Before disabling this “Additional lines” i try:
Search ^(.+?Fixed:.+?)$
Replace: #1#

I added two ?-signs.

Pressing [Replace all]
give me a messgbox: “Out of memory. No UNDO available”
Pressing [No] here lets EmEditor stop working.

Suggestions:
1.) EmEditor should recognize the ?-sign to work non-greedy.
2.) i want to point to my request to add this “Dot find new line”-option to the find&replace-dialog
for easy access

Thank you so much for reporting the redrawing issue. I will fix this and build the next beta shortly.

I don’t know why you don’t get good results with non-greedy marks. You should probably use 0 for “Additional Lines to search RegEx” and uncheck “Regular Expressions can match new lines” check box.
I always think about adding these options in the Find/Replace dialog box, but there wasn’t enough time by Version 8. Maybe next version, I will consider that.
