Bug ID: 138285
Summary: Allow users to see the replace result before moving to
the next search
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.4.6.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: enhancement
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
LibO goes to the next item after replacing, which does not allow for checking
what the result of the replacement is.
When doing complex replacements with Regular Expressions, it is very helpful to
check the result before moving on (the next search result can be some pages
below)
Thus instead of just "replace" two buttons would be helpful. "Replace" and
"Replace & Search".
This should work for any search, bot with and without Regular Expressions.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open the search window
2. Enter something to be searched which appears several times in document
3. hit search
4. hit replace
Actual Results:
The replacement is made and LibO searches for the next search string.
Expected Results:
instead of just "replace", two buttons would be helpful. "Replace" which shows
the results of the replacement and "Replace & Search" which replaces and goes
on to the next search.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: No
Additional Info:
This option is present in other popular wordprocessors.
