The find and replace dialog in the map editor didn't correctly delete turfs or areas.

This issue has been resolved.
When using the Map Editor, attempting to mass delete objects within a selected area does nothing.

Expected Results: For objects of the specified type, within the selected area, to all be deleted.

Actual Results: An output indicating a successful deletion is output, but nothing is actually changed.

Steps:
  1. Select an area.
  2. Right-click an Active Object and select Find on Map.
  3. Attempt to delete any objects by leaving the second input bar blank.
  4. Observe no change.


This is what my prompt looked like: https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/725458744711839873/ 1161587434052665345/image.png?ex=65548719&is=65421219&hm=c28 b85824e915ed1963487162a4662ea19c87b0a086eaf216f2b19c0b60c050 8&=

It was also pointed out that this was previously reported and was thought to be fixed (id:2883807).

I haven't been able to reproduce this. Can you break the steps down any further? Maybe do a screen recording that includes key/mouse presses?

I took a look but the video doesn't actually break down mouse and key presses, so I still need that information.

I think to get to the bottom of this I'll also need your source and to know which map you're editing, so we can 100% be on the same page.

Is this the same source you sent me on Discord?

Yessir. I can reproduce the issue on any map file.

What's the best way for me to get you that information?

Well this is weird. After I retested on your source, I was able to get the issue to occur. I think it had a lot to do specifically with turfs, and when I was trying to test earlier I think I was exclusively messing with movables.
