Description lvm 2017-09-07 09:17:38 UTC
Description:
Using Find resets 'Other options' in Find&Replace to default values.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open Find&Replace (^H)
2. Click on 'Other options'
3. Change an option, e.g. set 'Search in' to 'values'.

From now on Find&Replace will search in values in this and all subsequent searches even after Find&Replace dialogue is closed and reopened.

4. Perform a search using plain Find (^F)


Actual Results:  
Open Find&Replace->Other options: values are reset to defaults, 'Search in' is set to 'Formulae'


Expected Results:
Find should not reset 'Other options' in Find&Replace.

Also, optionally:
1. Find should use these 'Other options' when searching
2. 'Other options' should be accessible from the Find dialogue/toolbar



Reproducible: Always

User Profile Reset: No

Hello,
Thanks for reporting this bug.
It looks like a duplicate of bug 98544

Bug 98544 is about keeping 'Other options' section expanded if anything was changed there - makes sense, but is not related to this bug. This bug is about Find resetting 'Other options' in Find&Replace to default values.

I can reproduce that a search with the Find toolbar sets "Other options" in the Find & Replace dialog back to default.

As the Find toolbar only searches like Find & Replace with default values, that should not change any settings in the Find & Replace dialog.

For me that's a bug. But I call the UX team, maybe there are some deeper insights necessary to understand this behavior.


Tested with Version: 6.0.0.0.alpha0+
Build-ID: fc674ad1b795d74a50cb792368ce7eaee74ca904

Tested also with LibreOffice 3.3.0 
OOO330m19 (Build:6)
tag libreoffice-3.3.0.4
There, "Regular expressions" and "Similarity search" sometimes is not set back. Haven't found a schema when it will be set back and when not.

Yes i would expect the find toolbar not to change the saved settings of the find dialog.

Heiko, Stuart, Cor: What is your take on this?
Comment 5 Heiko Tietze 2017-10-05 07:44:44 UTC
Clearly a bug, user settings have to be persistent.
Comment 6 Cor Nouws 2017-10-05 16:28:34 UTC
now it becomes interesting... see bug 62601, complaining that Quick search (ctrl+f) is affected by invisible option from the search-and-replace dialog

Thanks, Cor. Is it likely that this bug is a result of fixing that bug in a way that it shouldn't have been fixed?

And also bug 102506 about adding other options to plain find - personally I'd vote for this approach. Actually I believe that's how it was originally when find was a dialogue just like F&R until some bright and eager mind decided to turn it into a half-baked toolbar.

Nope. From the time of OOo, there was always a find toolbar, though pressing ctrl+f brought up the dialog, and it always reset stuff in the f&r dialog.
