11. Menu ˋFind → Replaceˊ

13. Check "Regular Expressions"
14. Type search string "r$" (without Quotations Marks), leave Replace string
empty
15. [Find all]
» all first "r" of a paragraph will be highlighted
16. [Replace all]
» Expected: only "r" at end of paragraph (= end of line) will be deleted
» Actual: as expected
and it does not matter whether you replace forward or backward
Additional info:
-----------------
a) That's a strange difference between 'delete all first "r"' and
'delete all last "r"'. I think it's a bug, not a feature.
b) Additional research shows a possible reason:
If you replace one by one you see that the highlighting will stay at the
old place as long as there is a paragraph leading "r". Only when there is
nor more "r" in the line (and so also no leading "r" highlighting jumps
to next line
b1) You might argue that that is intended. I can follow with some tummy ache
b2) 'Replace Backwards' changes the behavior, after having replaced
highlighting jumps to line before. but continuing highlighting will
go around and around as long as no more "r" has survived
But:
c) Proceeding as (b) for r$ paragraph terminating "r" shows a different
behavior in details, but the result will be the same no "r" will survive if you
press
[Replace] often enough.
d) I did not test all details, but difference between (6) and (16) has been
inherited from OOo
My concern:
-----------
Different behavior in
6: deletes all "r" and
16: only deletes all LAST "r"
