------- Additional comments from [email protected] Sun Feb 15 20:59:16 +0000 2009 ------- "Search and replace all" is not the same thing to most users as "replace and search next until not found". This may be the implementation but it's not expected. It should replace all occurrences as a single operation and not change anything else. Changing the cursor position is a serious side effect and very annoying. When searching and replacing interactively, I do expect the cursor to jump because this is the implicit behavior of the "Replace" button in all apps I know: "Replace and search next". Giving "Replace all" an implicit behavior of "Replace and go to last replaced item" is unintuitive. I see the reason for this behavior but not the purpose, the practical use of it, and that's what should matter. This bug has been open since 2002. For those who are tired of waiting for a fix, the "Alternative Find and Replace" extension fixes it without even advertising it: http://extensions.services.openoffice.org/project/AltSearch --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
