--- Comment #27 from Lars Jødal <[email protected]> ---
Using LO 7.1.6.2, this is also a problem for me. If show track-changes is on,
search-and-replace will find text in deleted text, replace it with NON-DELETED
replacement text, and can then start over, replacing it once again.

As a result, search-and-replace is effectively unusable when track-changes are
shown (something that I as a user can only learn the hard way). IMHO, the
importance is higher than the current setting of "normal".

Two possible solutions were mentioned in comment 19:

(1) Writer should not find search strings in deleted text at all (meaning text
deleted in Track Changes mode)

Or:

(2) Writer still finds search strings in all text (including deleted text in
Track Changes mode) and also replaces them, but replaced text should be flagged
as deleted.

A possible third could be:

(3) In search-and-replace mode, deleted text is not found (i.e., option 1 in
this case), while in search-only mode, deleted text is found if track-changes
are shown (i.e., option 2 in this case).

The advantage of option 3 is that it is still possible to search in all the
text that is seen on the screen. But I have no problems going for the most
simple solution: Option 1.
