Description: I often use batch command to exchange ‘\p‘ (paragraph marks) by ‘\n‘ (forced line feed). However, If I apply AltSearch 1.4.2 in LibreOffice Writer Version Version 6.1.4.2 under Xubuntu 16.04.5 LTS (x86-64) and replace the batch command to replace paragraph marks by forced linefeeds, it simply replaces the marked portion in a table by the sequence of a line feed . The same batch applied to some marked portion of a LO Writer document which does not comprise any table works as expected. This seems to be a bug in AltSearch. Steps to Reproduce: 1.insert a table into a LO Writer document. 2.Paste some text into any field of that table, e.g. copied output of ls -l. 3.Mark several lines in this text spanning some paragraph marks. 4.Use AltSearch to rexchange (as a regular search) \p by \n. Actual Results: The marked portion in the LO Writer document's table gets replaced by a single forced line feed (\n) rather than all \p are replaced by \n. Expected Results: just the paragraph marks replaced by forced line feeds. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No OpenGL enabled: Yes Additional Info:
>This seems to be a bug in AltSearch. Sorry, you should write to author of extension Can you try repeat this problem in old version of LibreOffice? 6.0 or 5.4 for example
Unfortunately I don't have version 5.4 at hand, but the bug is definitely also present in version 5.1.6.2. And it is also present in versions running under Windows.
