Bug ID: 121633
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: regular expressions fail unless "match case" is also
ON
Classification: Application
Product: word processor
Version: AOO 3.4.1
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: ui
Assignee: [email protected]

The new ICU regex engine requires that letter case is significant in the
pattern:
\S is different from \s ("non-space" and "space")
\B is different from \b ("non-boundary" and "boundary")
\p{Uppercase} is valid, \p{uppercase} is not
The "match case" option in Writer interferes with these patterns.
In Writer:
File > New
(type)dt(then)F3 -> dummy text paragraph
Edit > Find & Replace
Search for: \S
Match case: OFF
Options/regular expression: ON
Click: Find
Note that the pattern matches only spaces, where it should match non-space
characters.
Change Match case: ON
Now the pattern works, matching non-space characters.
It seems that the "Match case" option must be on in order to preserve case in
the pattern.
This is not correct, breaking some searches and giving wrong results in others.
The "match case" option should not affect the pattern itself, only how the
match is carried out.
