If you perform a normal find text operation, the object type of the "Navigate by" drop-down menu is switched to "Repeat search". This is a bit awkward, if you always have to switch back to the original object type. In order to reproduce the bug: [1] Create a new text document with some headings. [2] Display toolbar “Find”. [3] In this toolbar in the “Navigate By” drop-down menu select “Headings”. [4] Navigate through the headings with arrow buttons. [5] Insert a text string in the “Find Text” drop-down menu. Then Return. In the “Navigate By” drop-down menu the object type changes to “Repeat Search”. Expected: No change of object type. To my opinion the item "Repeat search" can be omitted in the “Navigate by” menu, because all searches can be done with the “Find Text” drop-down menu.
Hi Harald, Here is a patch to prevent the "Navigate by" from being changed when a find text operation is done: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/49690/
