regexp replace in scratchpad doesn't work for /[\r\n]+/ but works for \n

>>>
STR_1:  (bad)
1. Open scratchpad (Shift+F4). 
2. Select all text there, type "a\ns\nd\nf" where "\n" is linebreak
3. Press Ctrl+Shift+R to replace strings in the code
4. Type "/[\r\n]+/" without quotes, press Enter
   type "1" without quotes, press Enter


STR_2:  (good)
1. Open scratchpad (Shift+F4)
2. Select all text there, type "a\ns\nd\nf" where "\n" is linebreak
3. Press Ctrl+Shift+R to replace strings in the code
4. Type "\n" without quotes, press Enter
   type "1"  without quotes, press Enter


AR:  STR_1:  "a\ns\nd\nf",   STR_2:  "a2s2d2f"
ER:  STR_1:  "a1s1d1f".  Reference of this behavior: STR_2

This behavior is handled by the source editor and is not specific to Scratchpad (same issue with the style editor).
