Description Harald Koester 2018-11-02 21:56:20 UTC
In order to reproduce the bug follow these instructions:
[1] Create new text document.
[2] Display toolbar Find: View > Toolbars > Find
[3] In this toolbar in the drop-down menu “Navigate By” select „Control“.
[4] Display toolbar Form Controls. The Design Mode should be enabled.
[5] Insert 3 simple form controls, e.g. text boxes.
[6] Click the up and down arrow of the function “Navigate By” some times. The selection correctly jumps to the next or previous form control.
[7] Disable Design mode in toolbar Form Control.
[8] Click the up and down arrow of the function “Navigate By” some times. A search to the next/previous form control is not performed. Expected: Jump to next/previous form control.

This bug exists already in version 3.3.0. Thus inherited from OOo.

The behaviour has changed since version 6.3.0: Now at step 8 the search is performed but with the search the Design mode is enabled again. I would expect that the Design mode is still disabled.

Dear Harald Koester,

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
