Last matching text was not replaced by %s

[Ernst de Hart]

Xiaogang,

As Linus already noted, you propably forgot the `/g` flag. The g flag means
global – each occurrence in the line is changed, rather than just the
first.
I guess you got this, because you're accustomed to have the default setting
for the 'gdefault' option on in your Vimrc configuration. Without the
`gdefault`  option, it requires that the g flag should be included in
%s///g to perform a global substitute. I recommend to set your gdefault to
be turned off, it creates confusion because then %s/// is global, whereas
%s///g is not (that is, g reverses its meaning). Thus as expected, Evil is
showing the correct behaviour of a Vim implementation.
