Priority: medium
Bug ID: 62601
Assignee: [email protected]
Summary: : Quick search (ctrl+f) affected by invisible option
from the search-and-replace dialog
Severity: normal
Classification: Unclassified
OS: Linux (All)
Reporter: [email protected]
Hardware: Other
Whiteboard: BSA
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Version: 4.0.1.2 release
Component: Writer
Product: LibreOffice
Created attachment 76872

A screenshot demonstrating the current misbehavior of the quick search box
invoked with ctrl+f.
Problem description:
When using the quick search box while editing in Writer (invoked with ctrl+F),
the search string is interpreted as a regular expression if the "use regular
expressions" option has been checked in the "search and replace" dialog before.
However, there is no immediate way to check, uncheck or just check out the
state of that option from the quick search dialog.
Steps to reproduce:
0. Type ??? in an empty writer document
1. Open the Search-and-replace dialog (ctrl+h)
2. Check "Use regular expressions"
3. Close the Search-and-replace dialog.
4. Open quick search (ctrl+f)
5. Type "???" in the find box and press enter.
Current behavior:
No occurrence of the search string is found.
Expected behavior:
The ??? we typed in the empty document in the beginning are found
(because there is no "regular expression" option visible, so the user
naturally expects the ??? to be interpreted literally and not as special
characters).
Operating System: Ubuntu
Version: 4.0.1.2 release
