Sure I can explain more. If you for example do the following search:
Find: empty
Find formatting: italic
Replace: [dummy]^&[/dummy]
Replace formatting: non italic
If you now do a S&R, it should just set the dummy tags before and after the italic part and also remove the italic formatting. That is how it should be and always was. However, now the tags are placed at the correct place, but not everything is set to non-italic (including the end-tag!). That causes the same part of the block (including tag) to be selected again, and again, and again. That is not how it should work and this was recently introduced. I do expect it to be solved soon, as this is clearly an issue in Word itself as I can reproduce it manually.
