1325	Backreference substitution not working in Replace dialog	FrDarryl		"Trying to reformat some Euro date strings (''dd.mm.yyyy'') to sortable (''yyyymmdd'').

I start with buffer containing:

'''foo 10.20.2011 bar
foo 05.30.2010 bar'''

Do a Search->Replace

{{{
'''Find Text:('''\d{2})\.(\d{2})\.(\d{4})[^\d]
''tick'' '''Regular Expression
'''
'''Replace Text:'''\3\2\1
}}}

After replacing (regexp matched twice but backreference syntax ignored):

'''foo \3\2\1bar
foo \3\2\1bar'''

It appears Scintilla is meant to support backreferences, e.g.,
