#1097 Regexp search & replace for ^ in document does not prefix all lines

[Robert]

Geany does not properly replace "^" with regex search with "> " under certain circumstances.

To reproduce: open Geany, create a new file. Then enter "foo<enter><enter>bar". You should now see this:

foo

bar

Then press CTRL-H (search and replace) and enter "^" as in "Search for:" and "> " in "Replace with:". Check "use regular expressions". Then click "replace all" and click button "In Document".

Result: there is no "> " before "bar".

Expected: all lines begin now with "> " (i.e. as if using sed -e "s#^#> #" on the file).

Strange: if you add more line feeds after "bar", still there will be no "> " before "bar" - but the all other lines do.

I have increase priority from default since this seems to affect a very fundamental functionality.
