Description

@utkonos

Version and Platform (required):

  • Binary Ninja Version: 5.3.8813-dev Ultimate, 67daa910
  • OS: macos
  • OS Version: 26.2.0
  • CPU Architecture: arm64

Bug Description:
The Preview column in Advanced Binary Search are wrong. It looks like it is including a little bit of the next instruction to pad the preview out to seven or eight hex characters for each search result row.

Steps To Reproduce:

  1. Open database: single leaf initializes sincerely
  2. Command-F
  3. Select Advanced Binary Search
  4. Enter this pattern 41c78?
  5. Look at buggy previews in the results.

Expected Behavior:
Immediates in the preview should be correct and identical to what is shown in the disassembly view.

Screenshots:
Here is the search. One right nibble is wildcarded. Not sure if that's involved in the bug:

It looks like the preview is slurping up bytes from the next instruction and tacking them on the immediate in the preview. You can see the actual disassembly up top and the strange preview down low.
