when you call findPrevious() with a regex search the browser hangs.

var search = editor.searchController;
search.setSearchText("\s", true);
var prevMatch = search.findPrevious(editor.selection.end, false);


Reproducible: Always

ACETRANSITION

The Skywriter project has merged with Ajax.org's Ace project (the full server part of which is their Cloud9 IDE project). Background on the change is here:

The bugs in the Skywriter product are not necessarily relevant for Ace and quite a bit of code has changed. For that reason, I'm closing all of these bugs. Problems that you have with Ace should be filed in the Ace issue tracker at GitHub:
