This bug report will be sent to the Free Software Foundation,
not to your local site managers!
Please write in English, because the Emacs maintainers do not have
translators to read other languages for them.
Your bug report will be posted to the bug-gnu-emacs@gnu.org mailing list,
and to the gnu.emacs.bug news group.
In GNU Emacs 21.1.1 (i686-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, Xaw3d scroll bars)

Please describe exactly what actions triggered the bug
and the precise symptoms of the bug:
Using replace-string, query-replace, replace-regexp, query-replace-regexp I
occasionally get the following :
searching string: Software Manager
replace string: Update Assistant
This sometimes replaced "Software Manager</h2>" with "Update Assistanth2>", and
"Software Manager</a>" with "Update Assistanta>" clipping the </. It seems
that the replacement is happening to characters that aren't included inside the
search string. Above is just an example. The bug isn't specific to the search
string above, or to the clipped characters. I've encountered the problem with
a variety of different search strings and replacement strings. I've had the
problem on builds on both windows and linux, and while using html-helper-mode,
cperl-mode, and c++-mode. The behavior isn't consistent -- I can do the same
search and replace on multiple files and some will experience the bug while
others don't. Also, the clipping won't occur on all the replaced strings
inside a particular file, even if the characters following the search string
are identical.
Thanks,
Spencer
