            Bug ID: 102009
           Summary: cant undo find and replace of paragraph characters
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.2.0.4 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: [email protected]
          Reporter: [email protected]

I often have a situation where I copy text from a PDF (generated by others out
of my control) to a writer document. This results in multiple sentence
fragments forming separate paragraphs instead of a single paragraph (each line
in the PDF comes across as a paragraph rather than a carriage return).

It is convenient to use Find and Replace with regular expressions to search for
the end of each line ($) in the copied text (except the last) in a highlighted
series of these small paragraphs and replace it with a space (' ') to rejoin
these paragraphs.

Should this go wrong and through user error be applied to the whole document
due to a failure to select a section of text properly, the entire document
becomes a single line of text (expected behaviour). However, it does not seem
possible to undo and I have had to revert to saved versions in the past.
