<pre>I think the regression was introduced by
<a href="https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118887">https://bz.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=118887</a>, but I think this behaviour is
not correct.
Consider the String "5a". If I search using the regex "[0-9]*", I should get 3
matches:
- 0 to 1, which is 5
- 1 to 1 and 2 to 2, which is empty
However, if I search using "[0-9]+", I get the expected match, so imho we
should allow zero length matches at the beginning of a paragraph.</pre>
