#1003 "replace all" processes file more than once

Geany's replace function replaces until the search string cannot be found again. This seems like just the right thing to do, but it has some undesirable effects
Example:

on a file, do the replace equivalent to
:%s/^...//g

in vim this strips away the first three characters as I intended. Geany leaves only len(line) mod 3 characters on every line - only then '^...' does not match anymore.

I am actually not sure wether everyone finds this unintended behaviour, but it's really unexpected for me. I think it should only scan the file once.

What about something like ^.{3} ?

This should have been fixed in the 1.23 release, s/^...//g equivalent definitely only removes three characters on current git.

Just an update, it appears that the fix was not completed before 1.23.1 so it will be in 1.24.
