Bug ID: 99038
Summary: Find&Replace with character formatting is broken
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 5.1.1.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
I'm trying to do a straightforward Replace operation and running into several
problems.
I have an .odt file of about 180kb. It originally was a .doc, and consequently
some of the text that was colored is only listed as "User" when I select the
text and look under Properties / color.
Problem 1: This means I cannot do a font color search based on LO color specs.
There is no "search for similar formatting" command that I know of.
Consequently I must use a workaround. I underlined all text, then intended to
search for text with the "Automatic" color set. This would be all text not
originally colored. In Replace I specced Without underlining. This would leave
me with only the colored text underlined, and I then could do a search for
underlined text and change the color.
But several more problems arose.
Problem 2: the Replace All search repeatedly hangs at 50% CPU, for upwards of
an hour. I finally have to force LO down. I have a Core2Due @2.4GHz, 4GB RAM. I
run LO 5.1.1.3 x64 .deb, and I have dramatically upped its memory allotment in
Options.
Problem 3: When speccing the "Automatic" color setting in the Find field, it
enters "White" instead. This appears to be a mere labeling error.
Problem 4: When doing a trial Replace (not Replace All), the search finds the
underlined text but does not remove the underlining.
So I've got several layers of failure with what I would think is a
straightforward function.
