Move not working as expected in a special situation
Task: change "abxycdez.txt" to "abcdexyz.txt"
Intended solution:
Move from: 3, Move count: 2, Move to: 6; no box checked
This results in "abcdxyez.txt", i.e. "xy" starts on pos. 5, not 6.
A bug?
Remarks:
1. All smaller Move to's work correctly (Move to 1,2,3,4,5)
2. I came across this while trying to resolve another Move-problem, with regular epressions checked, but the above example is simpler.
3. I've used AR 4.19
Thanks in advance, and Happy 2026.

Hi Wolfgang,
It's apparently a bug because setting "Move to" to 5 or 6 results in the same new name. Waiting for Kim Jensen's reply; in the meantime, I suggest you use the 'move backwards' function.
Move from: 2
Move count: 3
Move to: 4
Backwards box: ticked.
Have a good day
