--- Comment #1 from Michael Warner <[email protected]> ---
I am able to confirm this in:
Version: 6.0.7.3
Build ID: 1:6.0.7-0ubuntu0.18.04.10
CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3;
Locale: en-US (en_US.UTF-8); Calc: group
I didn't trace through it while executing, so I may be looking at the wrong
place for this particular test case, but
core/i18npool/source/search/textsearch.cxx lines 942-952 state explicitly that
they are there to ignore zero-length matches. The specific comment is this:
// #i118887# ignore zero-length matches e.g. "a*" in "bc"
It was a decision made in OpenOffice (I added the link to their bug in the See
Also field).
So this is intended behavior to avoid the matching-every-position case, not a
bug.
Whether it should be intended behavior and how to address it is another
question. Personally, I tend to think that users searching for regular
expressions are knowledgeable about the regex pattern they are providing (or
should be) and therefore we should match the pattern as written.
