Bug ID: 95405
Summary: Kill focus-stealing search and replace dialog and make
functionality available in a sidebar deck
Product: LibreOffice
Version: unspecified
Hardware: Other
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer

search results in evince 3.16.1
Steps to reproduce:
1/ open writer, type dt<F3> to get some text
2/ Open menu Edit->Find and Replace
Expected result:
A workflow that allow interacting with the content (the text document) without
a stolen focus and window popping up in from of the content.
Actual result:
A dialog pops up directly over the document that we want to edit/search/work on
and steal the focus. As a bonus, this dialog has to be moved out of the way
almost every time as it blocks the view to the document it operates on.
Suggested solution:
Make the whole search and replace dialog a deck in the sidebar, for a start
just containing the controls of the current dialog. This would open by clicking
the menu entry, but ensure the find and replace UI would not block the view on
the document it operates on, neither needing to steal focus.
Optional further extensions:
Make the sidebar contain matches of the search below the controls as e.g. the
PDF-viewer "evince" does. An example screenshot is attached.
