Hi Alan,

Thank you for looking into this!

Until this is officially fixed I've come up with the following workaround,
going off of the details you provided:

I created a "replace_fixed.el" file in "~/.emacs.d/lisp/" that is
replace.el taken from
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/emacs-mirror/emacs/emacs-26/lisp/replace.el
with
the following diff:

diff --git a/replace.el b/replace_fixed.el
index 08feb8e..8280fdd 100644
--- a/replace.el
+++ b/replace_fixed.el
@@ -2227,7 +2227,7 @@ It is called with three arguments, as if it were
            (isearch-forward (not backward))
            (isearch-other-end match-beg)
            (isearch-error nil))
-       (isearch-lazy-highlight-new-loop range-beg range-end))))
+       (save-match-data (isearch-lazy-highlight-new-loop range-beg
range-end)))))

 (defun replace-dehighlight ()
   (when replace-overlay

Then I added the following to my "~/.emacs", restarted my emacs server, and
the issue was gone!:

(load-library "~/.emacs.d/lisp/replace_fixed.el")

This probably isn't the proper fix, but just thought I'd share in case
anyone else is experiencing this and wanted a temporary workaround.

Best,
Jayden
