Description Buovjaga 2017-09-11 05:42:46 UTC
1. Change the style of a cell (maybe modify the style beforehand to give it a background colour)
2. Find & replace - Other options - Cell styles
3. Hit Replace All twice

In 3.3 it works right away.

Nope, still needs two rounds of replace all.

To recap the steps: I created a new style with a bg colour and then tried to replace it with Default style.

Comment 6 Stéphane Guillou (stragu) 2020-01-07 07:18:55 UTC
Can reproduce in both:

Version: 6.4.0.1
Build ID: 1b6477b31f0334bd8620a96f0aeeb449b587be9f
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

and

Version: 6.3.4.2
Build ID: 1:6.3.4-0ubuntu0.18.04.1~lo2
CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 4.15; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; 
Locale: en-AU (en_AU.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-US
Calc: threaded

What happens is that, when starting with no cell selection, the first "Replace all" creates a cell selection of the matches (i.e. highlights them in blue) even though the "Search Results" window lists no matches, and then the second "Replace all" finds the match in the selection and replaces the style (even if "Current selection only" is not ticked; still 0 results in "Search Results").

Interestingly, the searched style makes no difference! If you select an area and do a Replace All, the whole selection's style will be replaced, regardless of the searched style. On the other hand, if you do a Replace All with "Currently selection only" ticked and the style searched is not in there, you will have the expected "Search key not found".

So really, the title of the bug should be: "Search (and replace) of styles erratic"

OK I decided to detail exactly what happens in each case, and everything is listed in the attached spreadsheet. Hopefully this helps!

Tested with:

Version: 6.4.0.1

The whole work-flow here is entirely different from a normal find/replace, so it is hard to know what the correct action should be.

repro 7.4+ I guess.

Dear Buovjaga,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
