Yes, I also mentioned that in my bug report.

I wonder why it works differently in the BASIC IDE than in a document
or a spreadsheet. Couldn't they just use the same code in all cases? I
though that was one of the points with objective oriented programming,
not having to invent the wheel over and over again…

I remember I reported another bug some years ago, I think it was about
searching and replacing in the BASIC IDE using regular expressions.
The feature using $1, $2 and so on, in the replace with field, didn't
work as described here:
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Regular_Expressions_in_Writer#The_.27Replace_with.27_box_.5Ct_.5Cn_.26_.241_.242
It still doesn't work. Maybe I should report it too. I know I did, as
I said, but that was to OpenOffice.org, not LibreOffice… Or did
LibreOffice ”inherit” OpenOffice.org's bug reports?
