Description arthur jackson 2023-02-19 21:25:42 UTC

Description:
Love LibreOffice and really impressed how compatible it is with Word. 

My only complaint is with the search function. I search a document for a particular word and Writer finds them ok but the highlight colour is very pale, so I have to search for the word being highlighted. If it were a darker colour it would be easy to spot. 

Unless there's a toggle switch somewhere 'Make search results visible/invisible' that I've missed :) 


Steps to Reproduce:
1.search for a word in Writer 
2. try to spot the word found on the screen
3.

Actual Results:
not visible 

Expected Results:
hoped it would be visible 


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
sorry if this is a bit flippant - I have real problems finding the words I've searched for

This RfE is a DUP of "Bug 136202 - Found text highlight color too weak - difficult to notice search results", which has become 'RESOLVED NOTABUG' – may be inappropriately.

Version information: 

Libre Office Version: 6.4.7.2 Build ID: 1:6.4.7-0ubuntu0.20.04.6
Linux Mint 20.3 

However, ...  

I've just checked the search function again for a screenshot, and the highlights are now quite clear - similar to the screenshot someone uploaded after saying they had the same problem as me. I have no idea what is going on but it seems solved.

Sorry for the irrelevant bug request, I hope the problem doesn't reoccur. 

Thanks
