--- Comment #9 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Mike Kaganski from comment #8) > my reasoning about great complexity to solve this likely niche use case > ... But I can of course be mistaken wrt how common this could be. Ah, but think of what happens if you save your document as a text file; or if you were working on a text file to begin with. Now, the use case I described is simply "look for a pattern followed by \n" - because in text files, all lines end with \n (if we ignore \r anyway). So if you "back-translate" this use case - one of the most common you can think of in a text file - to a Writer document - you get this bug (possibly without the distinction between non-break and with-break). Indeed, supporting this would mean quite a bit of work - it is not a trivial feature to implement. But finding is in the core-of-cores of the functionality of an editor, and a document (rather than plain text) editor needs to be able to find stuff. So this is not a kind of bells-and-whistles request which one can decide that we don't want to have in LO on principle. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
