Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
In Find & Replace, the use of (...) in the Find expression is supposed
to create a reference which can be used in the Replace expression via $1
($2 for the second (...) etc.). At least that is how I read the OO
docs on Regular Expressions. It is also how regular expressions work
in many other programs.
However, using $1 in the Replace field just puts in a litera "$1"
instead of substituting the text from the "Search for" expression.
EXAMPLE:
If the text contains "My dog has fleas", then setting the Search expression to
"My (...) has fleas" and the Replace expression
to "My $1 is smart" Should change the text to "My dog is smart". However, the
result is "My $1 is smart".
