Title:
  [Upstream] Regex Find & Replace foo[^\[:alpha:\]] causes Writer to
  become unresponsive

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

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  1)  lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
  Release:	11.10

  2)  apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
  libreoffice-writer:
    Installed: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2
    Candidate: 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2
    Version table:
   *** 1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 0
          500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages
          100 /var/lib/dpkg/status

  3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:

  cd ~/Desktop && lowriter -nologo

  Ctrl+F -> Search bar box foo[^\[:alpha:\]] -> click More Options
  button -> checked Regular expressions checkbox -> clicked Find button

  and it fails quickly and gracefully.

  4) What happens instead is Writer becomes and remains unresponsive.

  ORIGINAL REPORTER COMMENTS: On my system this will reliably crash
  soffice.bin. I realize the example regex is probably not a good idea
  in the first place, but that shouldn't crash the application.
