<pre>Use the following scenario to see the problems:
The steps marked with * designate incorrect behavior, I expect the correct
behavior is obvious.
1. Create new text document
2. Click "Toggle Formatting Marks" see the empty paragraphs.
3. Type "Enter" 10 times to create 10 empty paragraphs.
4. insert a big table (6x6) after paragraph 5.
5. Make some paragraphs non-empty, like "X" in line 3, in some table cells
and on line 8.
6. Move cursor to begin of document.
7. Click "Find and Replace"
8. For reference, enter "X" as find string and click "Find All"
9. Note this correctly finds all "X" paragraphs, both inside and outside
the table.
10. Click "Regular expressions"
11. Find empty paragraphs: search for "^$" and click "Find All"
12. Most of the empty paragraphs outside the table are marked.
* 13. The last empty paragraphs before the table and before the end of
document are not marked *
* 14. No cells in the table are marked *
* 15. Note "Find Next" works correctly, and "Find Previous" moves to the
begin of document *
16. Select the whole table
17. Check the checkbox "Current selection only"
18. Note "^$" is still there and click "Find All"
* 19. The non-empty paragraphs and the last empty one in the table are
selected *
* 20. Click "Find Next" and the first empty paragraph in the document is
selected *
21. Close Find dialogue
22. Select the whole table
23. Click "Find and Replace"
24. Click “Find All”
* 25. Note: non-empty cells and the last cell is selected *
26. Click “Find All”
* 27. Now the last two paragraphs of the table are selected *
My intention is to select all empty cells in the table and assign a different
font and background color for the digits that are to be entered later into
those cells.
