             Bug #: 49514
           Summary: Search / Find 'continue at the beginning' skips /
                    ignores previous footnotes
    Classification: Unclassified
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: LibO 3.4.6 release
          Platform: All
        OS/Version: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
        AssignedTo: [email protected]

Demo document - 2 footnotes

When Writer's Find / Find & Replace functions cannot find the requested text
between the current cursor location and the end of the document, a dialog
appears saying "LibreOffice Writer has searched to the end of the document. Do
you want to continue at the beginning"?

If one clicks "Yes", and the searched term is in the preceding main text of the
document, it will be found.

HOWEVER, if the searched term is in a *footnote* further back in the document
before the current cursor location, it will *not* be found.

I'd appreciate if people could check whether this bug appears in 3.5, and on
other platforms.

= Steps to reproduce =
1. Open attached document (Word "foo" with footnote "bar", word "baz" with
footnote "qux").
2. Position cursor in footnote 2 (with the word "qux").
3. Open Find / Find & Replace and try to search for "foo". Search will loop
back and find "foo" at the start of the document.
4. Re-position cursor in footnote 2 (with the word "qux").
5. Open Find / Find & Replace and try to search for "baz" (which is in footnote
1).
Result: after looping back to the start of the document, "baz" will still not
be found.
