- The problem is difficult to explain but here's what I'm facing.
+ 1) lsb_release -rd
+ Description: Ubuntu 11.04
+ Release: 11.04
  
- 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.
+ 2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
+ libreoffice-writer:
+   Installed: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
+   Candidate: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
+   Version table:
+  *** 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0

+ 
+ 3) What is expected to happen in Writer is when one clicks inside the
+ Find textbox on the Toolbar, the word find disappears.
+ 
+ 4) What happens instead is the word find is still inside the box. This
+ does not occur in Calc.
+ 
+ WORKAROUND: Delete the word Find and type in the desired search.
