Bug ID: 163431
Summary: "find toolbar" should fade out, like "hide
intelligently"
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.0.0 alpha0+
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

hi,
Searching for a string in a document is a quickie. You'll do it anytime.
the search results are displayed in "monkey safe" mode, a huge red circle with
an X in it indicates to the amused user that the "search string is not found"
in the document. And if it is found, a blue background info block displays
"reached the end of the document"...
And once you have searched for something, this display will stay.
Why?
Why doesn't it go away? :)
Just try: CTRL+F
"thing"
You'll get your results.
But then on, from that moment you have hit enter to execute the search,
the "find toolbar" will stay there with its messages.
3 hours later you'll still see the huge red cross (red circle with an X in it,
and the blue area message, with an "info" icon in it.
This is totally not necessary.
How about hiding the "find toolbar" after a search has been carried out?
Give it a minute or two.
You can even add another message: now the find toolbar redraws, it will be back
anytime you do a search. It could have a very intelligent behavior without
giving a lot of work for the devs and increasing the level of complexity of
this part of the application.
I think this could be a great enhancement.
