severity 925544 normal
thanks

Hello,

Lowering the severity as rg remains functionnal in the huge majority of the cases.
And has a workaround and I can't reproduce.

I cannot reproduce the issue on my system
cat aeh.txt | fgrep a
doesn't show the warning
(french locale)


and both
cat aeh.txt | rg -a a
cat aeh.txt | rg a
returns the same thing


afaik, with the correct file:
% cat -v aeh.txt
a
M-CM-$

a


BTW, don't hesitate to report this directly upstream as it doesn't seem to be a packaging issue.

Thanks
