Thank you Buojaga for your explanation and the link to the reason as to why it
is not a bug. I will modify my workflow to include the /s/s; I already search
for empty paragraphs so Regular Expressions is normally on. Time for me to
update to latest LO version and to update my working list of common
expressions. 
Thanks again
Alistair
