Description aexl 2007-10-13 22:42:06 UTC 
see the attached document.
a quite common task: search double spaces, replace with single spaces.
to track all changes i set 'record changes' and 'show changes'.

now search: '  ' (double) replace ' ' (single) - all occurences.
the doc contains one double and one tripla spaces bundle.

how it should be (and is if i dont set 'show changes')
first replace-all: 2 occurences
second replace-all: 1 occurence

how it is:
first: 2
second: 2
third: 3
fourth: 4
fifth: 5
fifth: 5
...

and the expected effect, to replace all multiple spaces, is not done.

The problem is that in the 'record changes' mode - those double spaces that were
already deleted are detected again as double spaces

Thus Writer does not recognise those double spaces as already put out of the
document.
I can confirm that this problem appears also in other find&replace actions when
the 'record changes' mode is turned on. It only disappears if recording changes
is turned off before find&replace takes place.

As far as I can see the problem is that writer doesn't treat stuff that is
deleted when 'track changes' is on as really deleted - a related problem is that
if you delete a word and start typing directly after it, that word will be
included in what is looked at for 'autocomplete' - so if you delete 'in' and
insert 'for' straight after without a space, writer will suggest 'information'
(and no, if I type 'for' on its own it won't suggest 'formation'). This
shouldn't be the way it works...
