Also the problem greatly affects scientific and academic environments -
they need to follow certain rules and just can't introduce paragraph
breaks on a whim of word processor. Academic environments are very
important as they basically set person's habits for good part of life
and we want to be in there.

I still don't understand that requirement. What academic environment does not allow the use of paragraph breaks? How can one distinguish a paragraph break from a manual line break?

As OS already pointed out in his comment to i17171, this is *not* easy to resolve. In Writer, we would either have to extend the length of the currently used string type to 4 bytes or switch to rtl::OUString. In both case we would have to check each and every code involving text that the string index variables working on that text are adapted to 4 bytes as well. Beside this, *very* long paragraphs tend to decrease the performance of text editing, this has to be taken care for as well.

Best regards,

Frank
