I am starting this thread to move the discussion here from the news section.
At this point I am unable to duplicate the problems that were reported. For me the search/replace functionality seems to be working fine. If you can't send me the file then try to create something similar maybe or some piece of text to show how Win32Pad messes up w/ Search & Replace. You can substitute the text for a specific letter. Since I can't reproduce this it's hard for me to figure out what's wrong.
