** Please read this message in its entirety before responding **

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today,
LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed
bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this
bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the
details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in
getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information
from Help - About LibreOffice.

If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to
RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help
- About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular
meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a
REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your
bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from
http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat:
https://kiwiirc.com/nextclient/irc.freenode.net/#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team

Created attachment 136821
  --> https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=136821=edit
Example file to reproduce the bug

I am just reporting that this bug is still present in 5.4.1.2.

Attached is a very short file with a simple example of the broken behaviour.  I
hope this helps.

Here are the reproduction steps:

1. Open the provided file (RegExp-format-ruin.odt)
2. Open Find and Replace.
3. Copy and paste the Find string provided in the doc into the Find field
4. Copy and paste the Replace string provided in the doc into the Replace field
5. Click Find.
6. Click Replace

Result: note that the Italic style capital "O" changes to Regular.

>From the user perspective, only the space was changed (of course, the whole
matched text was replaced).

All the same, the format or attributes of matched sub-patterns ($1, $2 etc.)
should be preserved when they are replaced.

PS:
===

I feel this is related to similar problems when manually replacing selected
text: the new text typed in is given the format (italic/regular/bold) of the
text immediately to its left, instead of the format of the text that is being
replaced.

Maybe you would prefer a second bug report for that.  I have done so as Bug
112961.

Could I just add that the effect goes one character beyond the end of the
replaced string? I.e. the font attribute of the last character of the match I
think is applied to the character past the replaced string.

And since searching for text attributes (e.g., italic) makes Find & Replace
unreliable (https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=103400),
there's also no way to find them with a search, you have to scan every
character of your document by eye to find them.

Only regressions should use the keyword 'preBibisect'. Removing it...

Thanks, Justin - it's especially valuable to know it happens for non-regex uses
too!  That means I'd just been lucky so far in those few cases I used it for a
simple text replacement - because such strings tend to have far fewer matches,
and usually of whole words with a space or punctuation character alongside I
suppose.

I still dare not use Replace All, as it does too much damage to my novel(s). I
will be *so* glad when this bug is finally fixed!
