Description shiyuan 2013-02-15 15:30:46 UTC
In ubuntu with Libreoffice 3 I often use this two regular expressions:

To Identify opening quotation marks

"(\<|[\[\(])

To identify closing quotation marks

(\>|[,.;!?\]\)])"


However, recently I installed the latest Libreoffice 4 on my Mac. this two are stop working properly, they only find quotation marks rather than identifying the opening or closing.


on the same mac, This following expression used to work fine under the latest Libreoffice 4, but today it stops working. (to find words that has at least two capital letters together)

[:upper:][:upper:]


My Mac is on intel core duo with OS X 10.6.8
I install the latest OpenOffice and experienced the same problem.

ps
I am not sure if it is the Mac problem since my ubuntu is unfortunately broken——

I can confirm this behavior using Mac OSX 10.8.2 and LibreOffice 3.6.5.2, 4.0.0.3 release and Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (2013-02-22_00:08:57).

From which version did you upgrade?

Kind regards,
Joren
