Title:
  $1 etc. do not work in Replace of Find & Replace

Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  Invalid
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  In Find & Replace, the use of (...) in the Find expression is supposed
  to create a reference which can be used in the Replace expression via
  $1 ($2 for the second (...) etc.).   At least that is how I read the
  OO docs on Regular Expressions.   It is also how regular expressions
  work in many other programs.

  However, using $1 in the Replace field just puts in a litera "$1"
  instead of substituting the text from the "Search for" expression.

  EXAMPLE:
  If the text contains "My dog has fleas", then setting the Search expression to "My (...) has fleas" and the Replace expression 
  to "My $1 is smart" Should change the text to "My dog is smart".   However, the result is "My $1 is smart".
