Bug ID: 105883
Summary: Use unicode normalization for search and replace
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 4.1.6.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: LibreOffice
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
I'm currently testing Unicode compatibility including different input methods
on Windows and Linux.
There are two ways to represent the German 'ö': either use the single unicode
character U+00F6 (LATIN SMALL LETTER O WITH DIAERESIS) or have an 'o' + U+0308
(COMBINING DIAERESIS).
Using Unicode normalization (e.g. NFC), these are considered equal, but for LO
they are different.
LO 5.3 added an option to the search and replace dialog to ignore diacritics
generally. This can be used as a kind of workaround for search, but doesn't
help with replace, as this also matches 'o'.
Actually I also tested gedit and kate and only gedit finds both matches in the
"ööo"-string. kate in KDE4 at least loads the text correctly, while KF5 loads
it as "öoö" :-(
I just tested 4.1.6, but I guess it's inherited from OOo.
Steps to Reproduce:
Open document and search for ö in 'ööo'.
Actual Results:
You get one or three matches, depending on the "ignore diacritics" setting.
Expected Results:
You should get two or three matches depending on the "ignore diacritics"
setting.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
