IMPORTANT! Heads-up for F36 users:

The issue is in Boost < 1.78 (probably < 1.77) with kernel >= 5.18.10.
Therefore, if you are running this kernel, **do NOT use "Replace All"
in RStudio's "Edit > Find in Files" functionality**, or you may lose
files.

Let's see if the RStudio people could provide a patch for this. For
now, possible workarounds are 1) boot with an earlier kernel, which is
not great, or 2) execute the newest RStudio from a F37-based toolbox,
which is compiled against Boost 1.78 (see [1] for instructions).

Flagging here for awareness.  I've just had rstudio (desktop) wipe some of my files after using the find and replace functionality. The upstream bug report is at https://github.com/rstudio/rstudio/issues/11612.

Thanks for the heads-up, subscribed.

This was using the current build for F36 (I see F37 has a later version).

Yes, the new series (2022.07) requires Boost 1.78, which is in
rawhide, but not in F36.

RStudio Edition : Desktop
RStudio Version : 2022.02.3 Build 492
