Well, I had a look at that issue and the source of the problem is
already identified.

The expression removes paragraph-breaks. One single paragraph in OOo can
only hold 64K characters. So when you keep concatenating paragraphs so
that the character-count exceeds this limit, the characters won't be
displayed, "lost".

This is exactly why filing duplicates (and not identifying them early)
is unfortunate.

replace all "$" by "nothing/space", then it will prompt that it had
replaced all occurences, but nevertheless the document will be split at
the 64K boundry, you will end-up with having multiple paragraphs with
the maximum character count, "only" one paragraph will be lost.
When doing search and replace again will lose about "<count-times
replaced>" x <max-characters> since again this concatenates paragraphs
despite the limit.

ciao
