Still a problem in LO 3.6.2.2. In summary: When "Show tracked changes" is active, "Find" will find text that has been deleted with "track changes" activated. "Find & replace" will replace already deleted text. When you do "Find & replace" with activated "track changes", it will replace the same (already deleted) text again and again. "Replace all" works insofar as it replaces each occurance only once.
Actually it can be useful if "Find" also searches tracked deletions - after all you use "track changes" to be able to keep deleted text in the document. But I think it's usually not what you want. So you would have to disable "show tracked changes" just to do a "Find". I cannot imagine a situation where you would like already deleted text to be replaced by newly inserted text.
It's definitely a bug that LO does not at least move the cursor behind the replaced text when you choose "Replace" in the "Find & replace" dialogue with "track changes" activated. That leads to the same text being replaced again and again.
