            Bug ID: 111977
           Summary: Find and Replace: Find formatting like italics not
                    reliable
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: ya.della at gmail.com

Description:
LO does not reliably find strings formatted in italics - some get detected,
others not. As I can't reproduce under which circumstances it is unreliable
please see the example odt-file and screenshots attached.
I would argue this is a critical bug since using Find and Replace for dealing
with "dirty" formatting in large documents is an intended use of this function
and often occurs directly before printing. Loosing (parts of) this formatting
data (and probably not even noticing it!) can have severe consequences. But I
leave that decision to you guys.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Open attached odt-file in LO.
2.Open "Find & Replace"-dialoge under "Edit".
3.Expand "More options" and check "Regular Expressions".
4.Search for any number of any character by using the term ".*" and add
"Format…" > font > style > italics.
5. Click "Search all".

Actual Results:  
Only 1 out of 4 strings set in italics is found and marked. (See screenshot.)

Expected Results:
All 4 strings set in italic should be found and marked.


Reproducible: Sometimes

User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
Same behavior in LO 5.2.3.5 and OpenOffice 4.1.3
