Long lines get incorrectly rewritten

[JacksonKearl]

Longer lines in the search editor sometimes get chopped off in the beginning, which results in the change detector applying that change to the line in source.

Ex:

1. Have a result that appears past 200 chars into a line.
2. Without modifying the editor at all, run the apply changes command.
3. 🐛 The line will get replaced in-workspace with the chopped version.

See microsoft/vscode#91573.

Changes to lines over 200 charachters in length may have been ignored
is there a way for these changes to go through even though the lines are over 200

[JacksonKearl]

Unfortunately not, as the line itself is clipped in the search result so it can't be known what exactly has been modified. It would be theoretically possible to increase the limit, but this could look odd if the result is very many columns in and isnt actually visible in the editor without scrolling.

Ohhh that's unfortunate thanks for the reply

By chance, is this is being studied? I have lines well over 200 characters, this extension would be a time saver.

Could you try to talk with vscode developers to make this extension builtin to vscode by default, with the possibility of editing lines of arbitrary length, not of max 200 length ? it's really a powerful and wonderful extension if used write, it would be a shame to stop at 200 length lines
