------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Apr 28 22:52:52 +0000 2008 ------- Urk, it's not just macros: I also get stray "x"s using the "Find & Replace" UI (OOo-dev 3.0). To reproduce, paste in a bunch of paste, mark part of it bold, and an overlapping section as italic. eg. Gimme some x's: [b]with luck following here [i]and here[b] - see?[/i] Rats. (don't copy the tags - they're only there to suggest which bits you turn to bold and which to italic) The "Find & Replace" dialog settings are these: Search for: .+ Format: bold Replace with: [b]&[/b] Regular Expressions -> Replace All Ouch. Looks like the bug affects code that splits the tags to avoid overlaps. Workaround needs a macro: before running a search/replace involving formatting, protect your x's by switching them to some unique tag. You've run your replace routine, delete all the x's, and revert the temporary tags back to real x's. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
