Please don't spread incorrect information. It does not resemble the Microsoft Word behavior. I just tested on both Sharepoint and desktop MS Office 365. Please test again. You probably did not understand the bug. Libreoffice replaces the deleted text with each recursion while Microsoft Office does not replace deleted text.

Turn on change tracking (under Edit). Select Find and Replace (under Edit). Put "Hello" (no quotes) in both the find and the replace boxes. Click on "More". Put cursor in Replace box. Click on Format. Set it to, say Italic (leave other options empty). Accept. And now, for the fatal part: Click "Replace all". If you just replace one, you'll see why the latter fails. The replacement value gets inserted beofre the original, so then it continues on and sees the original again... ad infinitum. What should happen: If it just put its position after the original text when searching and replacing, it wouldn't have this problem.
