Hi, Thank you for letting us know about this problem. Both positive and negative lookbehind are affected. For positive try: (?<=o)o - it skips every other 'o', matching only half of them(only the 'o's at even locations) This happens because for Find Next/Previous Oxygen always searches in a substring starting from the caret(it does not look behind ahead of the caret position). Obviously this is a mistake and we'll have to change this behavior. I've added it to our issue tracking tool and we'll resolve it in a future version of Oxygen. As a workaround you can use "Find All" which obtains correct results for both positive and negative lookbehind. Let us know if you encounter further issues.

Problem:
Given this text:
It is very cooooooold today.
The regular expression search
(?<!o)o
should match only two 'o's, the one after 'c' and the one after 't' (the regex says "match any o not preceded by 'o'"). Correct?
When I try it, the search matches every 'o'.
Positive lookbehind, and lookahead searches, seem to be okay but I have not tested very much.
