<pre>Description:
I often use batch command to exchange ā\pā (paragraph marks) by ā\nā (forced
line feed).
However, If I apply AltSearch 1.4.2 in LibreOffice Writer Version Version
6.1.4.2 under Xubuntu 16.04.5 LTS (x86-64) and replace the batch command to
replace paragraph marks by forced linefeeds, it simply replaces the marked
portion in a table by the sequence of a line feed .
The same batch applied to some marked portion of a LO Writer document which
does not comprise any table works as expected.
This seems to be a bug in AltSearch.
Steps to Reproduce:
1.insert a table into a LO Writer document.
2.Paste some text into any field of that table, e.g. copied output of ls -l.
3.Mark several lines in this text spanning some paragraph marks.
4.Use AltSearch to rexchange (as a regular search) \p by \n.
Actual Results:
The marked portion in the LO Writer document's table gets replaced by a single
forced line feed (\n) rather than all \p are replaced by \n.
Expected Results:
just the paragraph marks replaced by forced line feeds.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
OpenGL enabled: Yes
