Bug ID: 165930
Summary: F&R dialog accepts search patterns with text after $,
should fail informatively
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 25.2.0.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
At the moment, LO's regex capability does not include matching patterns across
multiple paragraphs. Also, the $ character matches the end of a paragraph (not
a line break or a line ending through wrapping).
Now, if in my document I have some text, then a paragraph break, then some more
text, and I try a regex search with the pattern:
\.$\.
I expect to be told "Patterns with text beyond an end-of-paragraph marker $ are
invalid." or "are not supported" etc.
Instead, I am told "Search key not found" - which suggests such patterns _are_
valid, and _might_ be matched, but the text doesn't have them.
Now, I would love it if support for past-end-of-paragraph were implemented, but
while that's not happened - the user should be told that they can't do that.
