Undo a code replacement while captioning?

[danecreekphotography]

I'm getting the hang of using code replacements to help with captioning and one thing I've noticed is there's no easy way to undo a code replacement if I make a mistake. When I do ctrl-z, which I'd expect to undo the code replacement, I wind up with the entire caption text selected instead.

Is there some way to undo a code replacement?

Thanks!

Er, ok. Windows 8. Photo Mechanic 5.0 build 13915. Here are the steps to reproduce the issue:

1) Open an image
2) Press I to bring up the info pane
3) Type a code replacement into the caption field (I'm using "\ss10\")
4) Press ctrl-z to undo the code replacement

Result: All the text in the field is selected
Expected result: The replacement text is converted back to \ss10\

Thank you.  It appears to be a bug.  Windows isn't realizing the change to the text when code replacement kicks in.  I'll see what I can do to fix it in a later build of PM5.

Neil,

I managed to get the Rich Edit control to pay attention to the replacement and it performs undo, but then it sends a 'changed' event and Code Replacement kicks in and performs the replacement again.  I spent hours trying to intercept the Undo command without any luck.  I can't devote any more time to it now, unfortunately.

Can you at least keep the bug open for hopefully a release where you have a bit more time to look at it? Thanks!

Absolutely.  I have added it as a bug to our bug tracker.
