Hi,
the issue is http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=64368 as
Niklas posted. And thank you, kevin, for the very good explanation of
atoms and quantifiers in regular expressions.

I just tested in 2.0.2 and it is definitely broken. [:space:] does
not match anything by itself, whereas it should match the character
class of whitespaces, as I read it should in the helpfile, and as such
a construct would behave in other RE engines. Ditto [:digit:], which
doesn't match anything, while it should match [0-9] by my reading.

In a Regular Expression search, if [:space:] and [:digit:] only work
with + or * or {}, it's a bug.
[:space:] by itself, all alone, should recognize exactly one "white"
character.
