regex backreference do not really work with case insensitive search

Original Reporter info from Mantis: BeniBela @benibela
  • Reporter name: Benito van der Zander

Description:

If you use a regex backreference like $1 in a case insensitive search/replace you don't get the actually matched text, but a lower-case version of it.

Steps to reproduce:

Write ABC

search for (.) (case insensitive, regular expression) and replace it by $1
