Priority: medium
Bug ID: 64690
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: EDITING: Process hang on find/replace in Basic code
involving "\&"
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.3.3 release
Component: Spreadsheet
Product: LibreOffice
Certain "Find & Replace" operations in Basic-language macro code cause the
process to hang (must be killed externally).
It seems to happen when Regular Expressions are enabled and the replacement
text is "something\&". Note that & is supposed to be a magic replacement
token when using Regular Expressions, but not, presumably, with a backslash.
Regardless, the process should never hang permanently.
STEPS TO REPRODUCE:
1. Open the attached demo spreadsheet (ReplaceBug.ods)
It is NOT necessary to enable macro execution.
2. Tools->Macros->Organize Macros-LibreOffice Basic
Navigate to the "BugDemo" module in the document
(ReplaceBug.ods was the name used to attach it to this bug)
Click "Edit" to view the code.
3. Follow the instructions shown in the comments, which are as follows:
'abc
'def
'
' 1. Select the two comment lines above ('abc and 'def)
' 2. Edit->Find and Replace (or Control-H)
' 3. Click "More Options" and
' check "Selection Only"
' check "Regular Expressions"
' 4. In the "Find" box, enter "."
' 5. In the "Replace" box, enter "ABC\&"
' 6. Click ReplaceAll
' (process hangs)
NOTE: The hang does not occur when editing cell content (rather than Basic
source code). or if the replacement text is "\&" by itself (rather than
"ABC\&").
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.0.3.3 release
