Thank you for your bug report, I can't confirm this bug running LibreOffice 4.0.3.3 on Mac os x 10.8.3. wen pres Replace for the second time it replaces the first "spp" then I clicked it two more times it just replaces the last "spp" so my result will be: bla bla bla species. bla bla bla species. and it doesn't find any more matches. @Steve: Is it possible to reset your user profile following this guide: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/UserProfile#Resetting_the_user_profile ? If still reproducible, can you retest using LibreOffice version 4.0.3.3 ? Does that solve this issue? Kind regards and thanks for retesting, Joren Thanks for the attention. I re-set the user profile and this makes no difference.... BUT I have some further info - it seems it is related to 'record' and 'show' changes. So if changes are recorded and shown, then the original text displays with strikethrough and the first instance (struckthrough) gets repeatedly replaced, but if I uncheck show changes I get the expected behaviour. So it seems that the work around is to turn off show changes whilst doing a replace, then turn back on afterwords. I guess under the hood the replace needs to exclude struck-out text ?
