[email protected] changed: What |Removed |Added ---------------------------------------------------------------------------- Hardware|x86-64 (AMD64) |All OS|Windows (All) |All CC| |[email protected] --- Comment #6 from [email protected] --- I also was seeking out a solution to this "bug" as I am increasingly annoyed that I cannot search for $$ and replace with $. Or perhaps $^$ and replace with $. Or \n\n and replace with \n. It is silly that I have to copy text from LO Writer into Gedit so I can do something so basic and then copy it back. Go ahead and try it- it seems it is impossible to remove double newlines in LO/OO! The other thing that makes absolutely no sense to me is even described in the LO/OO help file: """" \n in the Search for text box stands for a line break that was inserted with the Shift+Enter key combination. \n in the Replace with text box stands for a paragraph break that can be entered with the Enter or Return key. """" Really? LO/OO treats \n as two totally different things depending on if it is in the search box or the replace box? That is about as user-friendly as a cracked glass of nitroglycerin! Wouldn't it have made more sense to keep \n as a paragraph break and invent something new or reuse something not used for a line break... maybe use \r or something? I think the current behavior with at least the above example is horribly broken at worst and very poorly designed at best. Seems to me to be a toss-up between a "bug" and an "enhancement". -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
