There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix

Title:
  Search and replace EOL character ^$ (to erase blank lines) doesn't
  work in Writer

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  In OOo Writer 3.0.1, if you want to erase blank lines using 'search
  and replace' for ^$ (empty paragraph): either the blank lines are not
  found and nothing is replaced, either the styles may disappear and the
  replacement doesn't work before a page break.

  This worked perfectly in versions previous than Jaunty. It doesn't
  work in Jaunty nor in Karmic.

  If you add the extension "AltSearch 1.2.2 Alternative Find & Replace
  for Writer by Tomas Bilek", the extension does the job perfectly like
  Writer was able in the past versions.

  I've tried (before a reinstallation of Jaunty) to install OOo 3.1 (using the PPA I think) but the problem remained.
  In OOo 3.1.1 in Sabayon or in Parsix Linux, the problem doesn't exist.

  This is useful if you want to present a phonebook spreadsheet in a
  document in 4 columns with differents formats for the items: you can
  make a mailing from the spreadsheet but then you need to erase blank
  lines and page breaks and keep the formating.
