Not a new feature, but rather fixing this very odd and specific bug:
http://qa.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=115528

OO doesn't seem to like 14 point font :-P. It's not a particularly
important bug, but it's proving useful for learning the internals of
Writer :-)

Thanks for the tips!

On a semi-related note, I'm doing a lot of stepping through the search
and replace code trying to track the problem down. Because LO seems to
be compiled using -O2 and -O3, there's a lot of optimization which
means the way the code gets stepped through is often bizarre, and the
values of useful variables have been optimized out by the compiler. Is
there a simple option for building the LO project using a lower
optimization level? I can't seem to find one...

Cheers,
