In GNU Emacs 31.0.50 (build 2, x86_64-pc-linux-gnu, X toolkit, cairo version 1.18.0, Xaw3d scroll bars) Repository revision: f1e29506822739208e5706b733cfd713c5f37cfd
Ref: https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2024-09/msg00071.html On carrying out the following steps ``` mkdir /dev/shm/test-foo -pv for i in $(seq 1 40); do ln -sv /foo/$i /dev/shm/test-foo; done (dired "/dev/shm/test-foo") (wdired-change-to-wdired-mode) (replace-regexp "foo" "bar") ``` It is seen that only the files in the visible portion of the buffer are affeceted by the replace-regexp. The attached patch implements the suggestion in https://lists.gnu.org/archive/html/emacs-devel/2024-09/msg00079.html and appears to fix the problem. (However there still seems to be a boostrap related problem with "Match data clobbered by buffer modification hooks" when wdired is first loaded)
