Text search/replace not producing visible change

[Ron Burkey]

I have found a case in which a find & replace on text in a schematic produces no visible results, and requires exiting eeschema and reloading the schematic in order to view the changed text.

Specifically, I have a schematic in which one sheet consists of nothing but tables of textual information. I needed to do a find & replace operation to change 8 instances of the string "2004103-001" to "2004183-001". The find & replace worked and successfully changed all instances, but there was no VISUAL change, even though I tried various things such as a redraw (F3). I was forced to exit eeschema and rerun it before the changes were visible in the editor. Here are links to the design files in which I encountered the problem (https://github.com/virtualagc/virtualagc/tree/schematics/Schematics/2005922-) and a PNG rendering of the specific sheet in which I'm encountering the problem (http://www.ibiblio.org/apollo/KiCad/2005922-/2005922--p3of3.png). (The strings being replaced are in the PART NO column of the middle table, for reference designators CR1,2,3,6,7,10,11,12.)
