Bug in 'grep' command when invoked with multiple patterns
Issue
- There is a bug in
grep. It occurs when you run the command with multiple patterns to find (using the -e parameter). When the result is shown in the screen, it should paint every pattern found. From my tests, when in one line there are four or more matching patterns, some of them are not painted.
Environment
- Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 5
- grep
