--- Comment #5 from raal <raal at post.cz> ---
I can confirm with 6.3 on windows, but it's not a bug. See
https://help.libreoffice.org/Common/List_of_Regular_Expressions

\n Represents a line break that was inserted with the Shift+Enter key
combination. To change a line break into a paragraph break, enter \n in the
Find and Replace boxes, and then perform a search and replace.

\n in the Find text box stands for a line break that was inserted with the
Shift+Enter key combination.

\n in the Replace text box stands for a paragraph break that can be entered
with the Enter or Return key.


Switch on formatting marks and you can see that first replace works like in
documentation - replace line break on 4th line. For searching paragraph break
tick "Regular expressions" in "Search and replace" dialog. Search for $,
replace with space.


So your steps should be:

1. created document 
2. use different ways to end line
3. use edit / find and replace; tick "Regular expressions" 
4. find \n replace all with \n
5. find $ replace all with <space>
