Priority: medium
Bug ID: 65038
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: EDITING: Search&Replace doesn't replace regular
expression with Lookahead
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.3.3 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Problem description:
The Search&Replace feature does not properly support regular expressions with
lookaheads. It is able to find matches that conform with the lookahead, but
pressing the replace button does nothing.
Steps to reproduce:
1. You have a text that contains certain combinations of characters, for
example AB, and you want to change the formatting of A only if it occurs in
front of B.
2. Click Edit → Search & Replace
3. Enter into "Search for": A(?=B)
4. Enter into "Replace by": A
5. While "Replace is focussed, click "Format" and select superscript.
5. Click "Search" and it does find results.
6. Click "Replace".
Current behavior:
The text stays unchanged.
Expected behavior:
The matches (A) should be replaced so that they are formatted in superscript.
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.0.3.3 release
