[Bug 478804] migrating packaging from OpenOffice.org to Libreoffice
[This is an automated message.]
There are no new official OpenOffice.org releases in Ubuntu packaging anymore => Won't Fix
If the problem persists, please mark this bug as "also affects project
Libreoffice" or "also affects distribution Libreoffice (Ubuntu)" if that
has not happened already.
Please leave references to upstream OpenOffice.org bugs in place to
allow cross pollination.

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.
