While I think it'd be very helpful if LibreOffice retained the original selection after a Replace All, I don't believe it ever behaved that way. I tested this with OpenOffice 3.2.1 and LibreOffice 4.1.3.2 and both of those versions also lost the original selection after performing a "Replace All" call. I think it'd be a worthy enhancement request, but I don't believe it's related to this bug. > A simple check box option in the "Find & Replace" dialog box to show 'Search > Results' with the default option set under the Preferences should take care > if this issue. I think a check box would be the most elegant solution. While I would still like to have the option to disable Search Results while using Replace All, I did find an easy work-around for handling multiple Replace All operations. Instead of dismissing the Search Results window each time, just leave it to the side. From that point on, the Find & Replace dialog won't lose focus and seems to behave as it used to. If you really don't want to deal with it, you can minimize the Search Results window. After that, the Search Results will never show up again. In fact, it can be very difficult to get the results dialog to show up again. It doesn't show up in my KDE taskbar, but I can bring it up by alt-tab'ing until it's selected. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
