------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Sat Jul 12 22:49:01 +0000 2008 ------- Text found with "find and replace" is overwritten by "Replace with" string despite using a regular expression sign "&" or "$0" in the "Replace with" string. Heavily injures usefulness of regular expressions and find & replace. Example: We seek a text (regular expression): "\<[:alpha:]?\ " We want it to be replaced with: "&xyz" We find something matching the regexp: "a " After replacing we should get: "a xyz" But instead we get: "&xyz" This works a bit randomly, i.e. it rarely happens that the "&" sign does it's job, but then stops again. Tested with: OOo 2.4.0 Writer, Kubuntu 8.04 openoffice.ux.pl 2.4.0 Writer, Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit OOo Portable 2.4.0 Writer, Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit OOo 2.4.1 Writer, Windows Vista Home Premium 64 bit On the same machine openoffice.ux.pl 2.1 Writer seems to be free of the bug. Issue 36405 (http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=36405) concerns a very similar (or identical) defect, but it's very old (version 1.1.2). --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
