Title:
  regular expression ^ by itself does not work in Find & Replace of
  Basic code

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:

Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  In Find&Replace, a regular expression of  "^" (without the quotes)
  never matches anything in the Basic macro editor (it reportedly does
  work in document text).  "^" should match the front of every line.

  For example, if you want to comment out a block of code in the Basic macro editor, it should be possible to
  Find ^ in a selection and replace it with "rem " and have "rem " inserted at the front of all the selected lines.
  But  ^ alone does not work, and never matches any lines.

  The use of of ^ alone to match the start of lines (and, similarly $
  for end-of-lines) has been a fundamental feature of regular
  expressions in computer systems since they were first widely used in
  1970s Unix.  OO should not deviate.
