Issue: Merged Selections When Searching for Consecutive Items

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Open a document with the following content:

CATEGORY1\nitem1\nitem2\n\n\nCATEGORY2\nitem1

2. Press Cmd+F and search for \n.
3. Click "Select All" for all matches.
4. Press Enter/Return.

Actual Result:

The consecutive \n\n\n sequence is treated as a single selection, so the result is:

CATEGORY1
item1
item2
CATEGORY2
item1

Expected Result:

Each \n should be treated as a separate match. The expected output after the described flow should be:

CATEGORY1
item1
item2


CATEGORY2
item1

When replacing matches, I would expect individual occurrences, even when consecutive, to be selected as separate instances. This would prevent unintended merging when performing replacements.
