Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: libreoffice

The problem is difficult to explain but here's what I'm facing.

I open a document in a LibreOffice Writer or Calc. The toolbar has
"Find" texbox followed by two arrowbuttons, Up Arrow and Down Arrow (See
Screenshot attached). Now, nothing is written in that textbox and by
default, it has watermark showing the word "Find". Now what happens is,
when I click on any of the two arrow buttons aside, the LibreOffice
looks for word "Find" in the document, that is, it treats watermark
"Find" actually a search term. Otherwise, search is working properly,
but if textbox is blank and nothing is written in it, watermark is
considered as search term. This is weird behavior, and instead of
looking for "Find" in the document, user must be prompted to enter
search term if Textbox is empty, rather than taking watermark as query.
The problem exists in both Writer and Calc, don't know about Impress or
draw, since none of them have Search Textbox on toolbar by default.
