Bug Description

Using regX , I can search on a pattern and replace it with a string that includes "\n" as a newline in the transformed string. If I do a simple search and replace-search from the Find pane that works (I'm searching within the body of a single node). If however I do a Replace All, the "\n" is not translated into a newline; it remains as is and appears as "\n" in the transformed string.

Also, I can't seem to get the replace-all command to work from the minibuffer line; it only does a single replace.
