I have a large text file (2352 lines) which periodically contains the word Generation. I now want to delete all lines containing this word. But when I select the word, do mc/mark-all-like-this, C-a and C-k not all instances, but only a few that are nearby, are deleted.

My mc/cmds-to-run-once is empty.

Is there a setting or some other way so that all file wide instances are marked/deleted? What am I missing?

multiple-cursors mark-all-like-this does not mark all like this
