right, I see that there's a couple of votes for it. But I'm still
curious about the special use case that requires having paragraphs of
more than 2^16 characters.
This issue is not only about paragraphs in the document body text.
Other issues have been dup'ed to this one as well (probably, because
the same string class is being used). One thing that has caused us
trouble for instance is the restriction of notes and info fields to
64kChars (Issue 68340). Another serious limitation which I assume
is caused by the same limited string class is the restriction of
StarBasic strings to 64kChars. This is a restriction that does not
exist in VBA.

So you should bite the bullet and move your string class into the 21st
century.
There is a string class which is capable of more than 2^16 characters:
rtl::OUString. But I currently doubt that it really is a *must* that the
*Writer text engine* has to be changed to use that string.
Best regards,
Frank
