<pre>In certain situations, using a regex with groups and backreferences in Find &
Replace will cause the backreference to insert "$1" instead of the actual text.
Steps to Reproduce:
In Writer:
1. In a document, insert the following text:
.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
.BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
2. In Find & Replace, use the following (with regex activated):
Find: \b([0-9a-f]{32})\b
Replace: $1
3. Note that hitting "Replace" will replace the strings of letters with
themselves as expected. Then note that hitting "Replace All" will replace the
A and B strings with the text "$1".
Replace all results in Writer:
.$1.
.$1
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC.
DDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDDD
Libreoffice Calc performs the "Replace All" as expected:
.AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA.
.BBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBB
CCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCCC.
