Bug ID: 163935
Summary: Retain find/replace pairs in dropdowns and over
restart
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 24.8.2.1 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I use Calc to manage some data, and I often have to do one of a few templated
find/replaces over that data.
The Find/Replace offers two dropdowns: one for what to find, and one for what
to replace it with. However, I find two usability problems that I think makes
them not as useful as they could be:
1. they clear across restarts, which means I needs to re-enter the same
find/replace patterns every time I reopen the document
2. the find / replace patterns aren't linked; ideally, choosing a find pattern
would retrieve the (last) associated replace pattern, so a previous
find/replace configuration can quickly be recalled.
(My issue is in Calc, but I'd expect it to be similar with other components)
Steps to Reproduce:
1. In calc, open a document with some data
2. Enter a find and replace pattern, then apply it
3. Enter a second find and replace pattern, then apply it
4a Select the first find pattern again
4b Restart LO, and open the find/replace dialog again
Actual Results:
4a The replace pattern is NOT updated to match the find pattern as used the
first time
4b The find and replace patterns dropdowns are empty
Expected Results:
4a The replace pattern is updated to match the find pattern as used the first
time
4b The find and replace patterns dropdowns contain previously-used patterns
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
