weird autoreplace behaviour

[kofolamaster]

Lets have this recipe in autoreplace:
abcd=UVWXYZ

now type in SQL window:
abcde
and insert '.' into this line after 'd':
abcd.e
This changes correctly to "UVWXYZ.e"

Now the weird part no.1.:
type:
abcdef
then insert '.' after 'd':
abcd.ef
No autoreplacement takes place(!).

Weird part no.2.:
type:
abcdef
then insert '.' after 'd' and ' ' after 'c':
abc d.ef
This autoreplaces to "UVWXY Z.ef" (!).

Is this desired behaviour?

I would be glad to see example2 fixed, as this is complicates my work.

This does not quite work for me. Can you let me know your exact PL/SQL Developer version?

Your example 1 behaves as expected, once a complete word is entered autoreplace won't change things if you enter a dot in the middle.

I was able to replace the problem of your example 2. This looks like a bug. We'll fix it.

I encountered another autoreplace weird behaviour:

lets have autoreplace rule:
co=count(*)

type (while the rule is disabled):
co abcdefg

now put cursor at the start of that line and hit enter, result is:
count(
*) abcdefg

That doesn't seem right. It's fixed for 8.0 though.
