Bug ID: 148062
Summary: [UI] In Calc, find-and-replace dialog (Ctrl-H)
doesn't remember the "Current selection only" option.
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.1.3 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Calc
Assignee: [email protected]
Reporter: [email protected]
Description:
Most (all?) settings in the Ctrl-H find-and-replace dialog are preserved from
search to search; in fact, I can even restart my computer and they're still
there. But the setting "Current selection only" is forgotten.
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select a range of nonempty cells (at least one nonempty), open
find-and-replace, open "Other options", uncheck "Current selection only", and
(optionally) make a search.
2. Stop selecting a range of cells (or select only empty cells), open
find-and-replace, and (optionally) make a search.
3. Select a range of nonempty cells (at least one nonempty), open
find-and-replace, and make a search.
Actual Results:
Search is only in the current selection; this option has been reset to its
default.
Expected Results:
Search should be in the entire spreadsheet; the option should have been
remembered.
Reproducible: Always
User Profile Reset: Yes
Additional Info:
If you skip step 2, then it works as expected. So the option is only forgotten
if there is an intermediate stage in which the default is reversed or the
option is unavailable. (This option has a complicated default behaviour: it's
on if you open the dialog while a range of cells is selected, as long at least
one of the selected cells is nonempty; off if you open the dialog while no
range is selected and the current cell is nonempty; and unavailable if a range
of empty cells is selected, or no range is selected and the current cell is
empty. At least that's how it seems to work when I try it out.)
This bug also appears in reverse, and in a simpler way; if in step 1 you move
to an nonempty cell (instead of selecting a range) and check (instead of
unchecking) "Current selection only", then this choice is immediately forgotten
(you can even skip step 2). But since I don't know any use for searching only
within a single cell (since you end up in that cell either way), I'm not
reporting this reverse bug as a bug. It's just strange behaviour that may be
related.
Also, this is the first time that I've reported a bug here, and I had no idea
how to answer the required question as to when this first appeared. It appears
in the current version, so I selected that, but it probably appeared earlier.
(It just didn't impact me earlier, because I didn't need to use Ctrl-H then.)
