Description: I tried to search for any character that was a particular font in bold. When I pressed Replace All, a prompt appeared saying "to continue Undo must be disabled". I accepted, then progress wheel appeared for an indefinite time (I waited 15 minutes before aborting). Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open document 2. Open Find & Replace dialogue 3. Place cursor in Find field 4. Select a font in Format dialogue which appears many times in document 5. Place cursor in Replace field 6. In Format dialogue select same font previously selected from Font tab in step 4 and select a background color (yellow) from Highlight tab 7. Click Replace All Actual Results: 1. After 60,000 character replacements, prompt appears "To proceed with this action, you must first turn off the "undo" function. Do you want to turn off the "undo" function?" 2. Clicking No or Cancel resumes normal control of the application. Clicking Yes results in indefinite hanging. Expected Results: 1. Clicking Yes should allow the operation to complete. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: In my document, after 60000 characters replacements, only 286 were remaining. I was able to do a second search/replace with no issue on jus the remaining selection. Clicking "Yes" to turning off the Undo feature seems to go down a code pathway that causes the hanging.

Interesting to note that if I do search and replace in chunks, i.e. without accepting to disbable the Undo feature, then I can still do a single click (ctrl+z) undo of a mass replacement. Is it then possible for the algorithm to do large search/replace operations in 60,000 character (or whatever defines the limit) chunks? This would allow the user to undo mass changes, which is desired, rather than leave them without Undo feature for such large changes.
I confirm it with Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: 5dcbd1bb557450a2d658a710c163b310c0cee157 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win; Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: CL
