Description itwerx 2005-12-30 06:12:16 UTC 
If a cell has multiple formats of text (e.g. bold and non-bold) and a search and
replace causes text crossing the format boundary to be changed then the
formatting for the text on one side or the other will be lost.
E.g. a cell contains (caps indicates bold, non-caps indicates non-bold):
   TESTXxtest
...a normal search and replace to change the text "xx" to "yy" will result in:
   testyytest
When it should result in either:
   TESTYYtest
or:
   TESTyytest

This the extent to which the issue has been explored so far, it may be
further-reaching than what is described here and/or may be related to other issues.
   (And if it has already been submitted then I apologize, though I DID search
quite a bit for anything similar first!  :)
