Question

Illustrator 27.5 "Find And Replace" issue

Not sure if this one had been discussed before but I wasn’t able to find anything about it. I never had an issue like that before and it’s kinda weird.

 
I had to take out a certain word in a couple of captions so I used „Find And Replace“ pasted in the word, in my case it was „Materialzusammensetzung: " with the space behind the „:“ and left the „Replace With“ blank, like I wanted it. If I go one by one this works fine … but … if I hit „Replace All“ it repeats the first figure of the following number. 
 
Like I replaced „Materialzusammensetzung: 80%“ it’ll change it to „880%“. This is a weird bug.

Yep, I confirm that in 27.7, and in the latest Beta as well.
I am making it into a bug report at UV: http://illustrator.uservoice.com/forums/601447/suggestions/46954852

Can you upload a file with an example text in it?

It just reoccurs in any file. I tested it in a new file as well. Just type in whatever for instance „Test 1“ or „Test A“ and then Find/Replace „Test " with the blank and replace all with nothing in the replace section and it’ll double whatever comes next. Either „11“ or „AA“. If you replace it without the blank it’ll fill in a second blank wich is not correct either.
