Bug ID: 99013
Summary: EDITING: Find&Replace settings chosen for one document
affects searches in all open documents
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.1.1.3 release
Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I was astonished when I tried searching in one document ("Doc B") for text I
was pretty sure was there, the quick-search wasn't finding any text I tried.
I discovered it was because in another document ("Doc A"), I was doing a
Find&Replace for a Format (Times New Roman 10.5pt). That should be a
per-document setting, not applied to every open document!
After opening the F&R panel in the current document ("Doc B") and selecting "No
Format", all the searches then succeeded. Perhaps the bug is stranger than I
think, though: when I went back to the document where I'm searching for 10.5pt
Times New Roman ("Doc A"), expecting that turning off searching by format in
Doc B would have turned it off in Doc A - it hadn't!
Could the last settings for a F&R in some document be inherited as the initial
settings in the next opened document? That's also bad: the F&R should start
off from a standard default setting. Although I can see that there would be
*some* use cases where the current surprising behaviour would be useful.
