Suppose I have a file in the editor containing the following text:

final String foo = "$a";

and I invoke "Replace" (Ctrl-R), with the following settings:

Text to find: $a
Replace with: $b
(Note: Regular expressions are turned off, and case sensitivity is off.)

Idea does not find the text "$a" in the source file, even though it clearly exists. If I remove the dollar sign from the search string, Idea finds the "a" in the line, however.

This seems to make it impossible to search for (or perform automatic search-and-replace on) any search string that has a dollar sign ('$') in it.



Issue was resolved
