Priority: medium
Bug ID: 71158
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: Writer Search and Search+Replace cannot handle the
pilcrow sign (Unicode 00B6)
Severity: major
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: x86 (IA32)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.1.2.3 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
LibreOffice Package: libreoffice 1:4.1.2~rc3-0ubuntu1
Libre Office Version: 4.1.2.3
Build ID: 410m0(Build:3)
System: Xubuntu 13.10, 32 bit, fully patched

LibreOffice Writer Search and Search+Replace:
1/ Cannot locate the pilcrow sign (ΒΆ, U+00B6, also used in LibreOffice as the
end-of-paragraph marker), neither within a paragraph nor at the end of a
paragraph.
2/ Cannot find and replace continuous strings that span over multiple
paragraphs.
These are serious deficiencies, especially when editing long documents.
Note: As to the pilcrow sign, it is a standard Unicode character, and it has
been in Unicode since 1.1. It can be (and has long been) legitimately used for
any number of good reasons in text documents other than merely acting as the
LibreOffice end-of-paragraph marker.
There can be no reason why it is excluded from LibreOffice Search and
Search+Replace.
Note: Issue 2/ might well be a direct consequence of issue 1/. If so, then
making the pilcrow sign findable and replaceable may perhaps also address and
resolve issue 2/. If not, then issue 2/ must be filed separately in the
LibreOffice Bugzilla.
