Description: Both in the "Search" line and in the "Replace" line, pressing the ALT key highlights the text already contained in the line (for overwriting). As a consequence, it is impossible to type an expression containing a character (in non-first position) involving the ALT key. Steps to Reproduce: 1. CTRL-ALT f 2. Type A[ in the search line or in the replace line. Actual Results: [ Expected Results: A[ Pressing the ALT key should not highlight the content of the dialog box lines. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: No Additional Info: While one keeps the ALT key pressed, one can go on typing ALT characters. Once one releases it and presses it again, one cannot add anything, for the above-mentioned reason. I seem to remember that this is an old bug; I think I have seen it in v. 5.0. User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Ubuntu; Linux x86_64; rv:56.0) Gecko/20100101 Firefox/56.0
Sorry for my mistake: The correct description of the bug refers to the ALT-Gr key, not the ALT key. Again, the example I gave ('[') presupposes a German keyboard layout. To reproduce the bug with an English keyboard, substitute '[' in my example 'A[' by any character involving the ALT-Gr key.

As you may have seen from my bug description, I did use LO v. 5.4.2.2 on Ubuntu 16.04. There the bug is reliably reproducible all the time. Sorry I do not pretend to be an alpha tester. However, I can confirm that the bug is absent from the Windows version of LO.
Works for me. I also tried GTK3 plugin. Finnish keyb layout. What if you test other layouts? Set to NEEDINFO. Change back to UNCONFIRMED after you have provided the information.

I've just tested LO 4.2.8.2 on Kubuntu 14.04. The bug does not appear.
I meant testing other keyboard layouts with your Ubuntu 16.04, LibO 5.4.
I just tried it on LO 5.4.1.2 as shipped with Ubuntu 17.10. The bug does not occur. It appears that we are faced with a failure of cooperation between LO and the Unity desktop.
I switched the keyboard layout to English, so that [] do not require the ALT-Gr key, but this key is still available for other characters. Same result: pressing the ALT-Gr key marks the entire text already contained in the Search field of the dialogue box.
Hello Christian Lehmann, Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ? I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to 'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.
Resolved in 6.1.4.2.
Thanks for retesting with the latest version. Setting to RESOLVED WORKSFORME as the commit fixing this issue hasn't been identified.
I am awfully sorry. I yesterday tested the behavior of the 'Find&Replace' dialogue at a moment where OpenGL was enabled. At that moment, the reported problem did not exist, so I thought it was solved. However, OpenGL does not work in my installation, so I had to disable it again. And now the problem of the Alt and AltGr keys reappears: 1) In Wirter, press either CTRL-h or CTRL-f. 2) Type anything. 3) Press either Alt or Alt-Gr key. 4) The text entered before is highlighted, so it will disappear once you hit the next key.
I can't confirm it with Version: 6.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) Build ID: ffa5b8a82eab18041bbee4d6914892b82c7801d3 CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0; UI render: default; VCL: win; TinderBox: Win-x86_64@42, Branch:master, Time: 2018-12-19_03:24:54 Locale: en-US (de_DE); UI-Language: en-US Calc: threaded OpenGL is diabled
The same happens to me in some HTML forms which require me to fill in the field 'email address'. At the point where I press Alt-Gr to type '@', the entire text entered up to then is highlighted and disappears upon completing '@'. It could be a problem of the OS (I have Ubuntu) or of some routine used by both Linux LibreOffice and those HTML forms.
I can not reproduce the bug in Version: 6.2.2.2 Build ID: 6.2.2-4 CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 5.0; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3; Locale: it-IT (en_GB.UTF-8); UI-Language: en-GB Calc: threaded
The bug is not present in Kubuntu 18.04 KDE Plasma Version 5.44.0 LO 6.1.5.2. As I remarked earlier, it may have been a problem of (interaction with) the Unity desktop. If and when I stumble again over the bug, I will report.
Ok, let's close for now.
