             Bug #: 52504
           Summary: Regular Expression Search for circumflex by itself
                    does not find beginning of a paragraph
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 3.6.0.2 rc
          Platform: Other
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: NEW
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
        AssignedTo: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
        ReportedBy: james_avera at yahoo.com


What is expected to happen in Writer, Calc, or the Macro Editor is when one
opens the Find & Replace window, with Regular Expression checkbox checked, in
the Search for drop down put a circumflex in, and the beginning of every
paragraph is found. Consulting the LO Wiki and built-in LO help, it is implied
that using a circumflex by itself in the find field should match the beginning
of a paragraph:

What happens instead is nothing is found.

NOTE: A dollarsign ($) by itself *does* work as expected, i.e., it matches the
end of each line.
