            Bug ID: 118906
           Summary: LibreOffice Hangs if Special Characters are Used in
                    Search Term of the Help
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.5.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Keywords: possibleRegression
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: LibreOffice
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org

In order to reproduce the bug:

[1] Start LibreOffice and open Offline Help Dialogue with F1.
[2] Select tab Find.
[3] Insert 2 words in Search term. The second word should be directly followed
by the special character '#'. Example: “word1 word2#”. 
[4] Click 'Find'. LibreOffice hangs. It's only possible to close LibreOffice
with the X in the upper right corner either of the Help Window or of the
LibreOffice window itself. Expected: No hanging.

There are more special characters with the same behaviour. I only checked it
with '#', '+', ')” and '*'.

Bug occurs with version 6.0.5 (64 bit, Win 10, German keyboard layout).
Bug occurs the first time with version 5.3.0. Hence regression.
