Mike seems to agree that it should be made consistent with Writer:

I think it makes sense too. -> New
(or did I misunderstand your point, Mike?)
Let's say this "started" in 7.5 as a follow-up to the documentation fix for bug
43107.
Confirmed that replacing <some_chars> with \n in Calc does not work as one
would expect with "Regular Expressions" on.
Version: 24.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: e9a0c97de95688b2f86bbb4dd8c823af5442401c
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 5.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI: en-US
Calc: threaded
But in my (rather uninformed?) opinion, the whole thing should be made
consistent across components with the wider-ranging change of:
- making $ work in both search and replace for paragraph breaks
- making \n work in both search and replace for line breaks
... and the distinction between the two would only matter in Writer (where both
<text:line-break/> and <text:p> exist)
Would solve many headaches in my opinion.
