Describe your bug.
For the purpose of limiting count by --max-count, with the mutiline flag, the program seems to be counting matches on consecutive lines as a single match, resulting in extra matches.
What are the steps to reproduce the behavior?
- Create a file with contents
line 2
line 3 x
line 2
line 3
- Run
rg --max-count=1 -U "line 2\nline 3" <file> --stats --debug.
What is the actual behavior?
