Why does Search & Replace not work for JMP19?

JMP19 S&R.jpg

Above is a picture of an attempt to Search for the beginning of the line of the 3 Column Names and Replace that with the prefix "Pre-" in JMP19.  it causes my computer to start calculating who-knows-what for more than 20 minutes, before I finally decided to kill it.  My computer heats up, the fan comes on and it sounds like it's in distress!  I have to do something similar to this almost every day and have never had a problem in previous versions of JMP, where it usually finishes instantly.  Is this a bug in JMP19?  It is unusable to me if this is not fixed.

Re: Why does Search & Replace not work for JMP19?

I have replicated your finding.  After clicking on Replace All, it popped up the Replacing Data window.  I waited a short bit of time and then Cancelled the operation, only to have a JMP Alert window pop up stating that over 21 million occurrences had been replaced.

Since I was only Searching on column names, and it was supposed to be restricted to the 2 selected columns, I think this is truly a bug.
