Description Luca 2012-05-01 13:37:16 UTC

The "Replace" function is broken when it involves removing ends of paragraphs.

Search field: $
Replace field: empty

Hit replace repeatedly and you'll see only half line breaks removed, alternatively. The function misses one out of two line breaks. Maybe there's a problem in cursor placement after a line break is removed. 

The "replace all" function works as expected.

Can confirm exactly for LibO version 3.5.4 release on Ubuntu 10.04 LTS.

Wen "Replace" is chosen, LO actually skips the paragraph which is marked by the cursor and deletes the _following_ paragraph end instead of the marked one. (LO 3.6.2.2 Ubuntu 12.04)
