People also complained about Writer paragraphs being limited to 64k

That one hurted me in portuguese/spanish judiciary/legal documents,
where secular tradition prevents writing with banks/white "spaces" in
the document (my guess: to not allow adding text in these "holes").

        Ho hum :-)

This is a bug I really care about.
A layman question: will OString/OUString replacements address this issue?

        Well - if by address you mean -potentially- (in writer - when it it is
finally converted) allow for -huge- (4Gb) paragraphs, then possibly
yes ;-)

        On the other hand ... I imagine that writer has scalability issues by
the time you get to a handful of pages of the same string anyway ;-)

        And that is before you start doing red-lining etc.

Of course, this issue does not exist "elsewhere".

        Sure - those guys use a piece-table to store stuff, and do layout
rather differently ;-)

        All the best,

                Michael.
