I just wrote this piece of code:

    for (runner= 0; buff[runner]; runner++) {  
      if (buff[runner]=='"') {   
	/* double quoted string token */
	i++;
	while (buff[i] && buff[i] !='"')
	  i++;
        }
      }

I pasted the underlined code block into place (note block starts just
after the '{' of the if() line).  I need the variable 'runner' in place
of the 'i' in this block, so I selected Rename Identifier from the
C-text menu card.  When I'm done, I notice that the very last 'i' was
not changed:

    for (runner= 0; buff[runner]; runner++) {
      if (buff[runner]=='"') {
	/* double quoted string token */
	runner++;
	while (buff[runner] && buff[runner] !='"')
	  i++;
        }
      }

I've actually been bitten by this bug before, having assumed that all
the identifiers had been changed as implied.

This is just a bug report for your information and for the Andrew
community to watch out for.
