Re: Search and Replace shifts data

I'll have a look at your findings.  The problem seems to be mainly with 
the way in which the Java language handles uppercasing in different locales.

I thinks you'll get the expected results when you check the "Case 
sensitive" checkbox in the find dialog (in which case there are no case 
changes done during the search).
