--- Comment #10 from Eyal Rozenberg <[email protected]> --- Thinking about this some more, I am against implementing this. The benefit is outweighed by the potential for inadvertantly disclosing information one does not wish to have disclosed. Example: Guest account on a desktop computer somewhere. Person 1 opens a document which is password-protected and searches for some sensitive information. They then close the document and leave. Then, Person 2 logs in and starts LibreOffice. They can now see strings or pairs-of-strings from within a confidential document, with zero effort. The pairs-of-strings also allow them some insight regarding what actions Person 1 was taking. Also, thinking about the applications I use which have Find/F&R functionality - I believe essentially all of them retaining Find strings and Fine/Replace between app sessions: Text Editors, IDEs, PDF readers and so on. But - what about as an opt-in feature? In that case, the level of danger is somewhat lower, although not all the way down, since the person typing in the search string might not be aware of the opt-in. So in this case I don't have a strong opinion either way. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
