Description Mark Ogilvie 2019-06-04 13:49:26 UTC
Description:
LibreOffice Calc falsely reports "search key not found" when performing character search and replace in formula in a cell.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. Select range of Calc cell(s) containing formula that needs changing
2. Click "Edit"
3. Click "Find & Replace
4. Enter Character "C" (for example) in Find box
5. Enter Character "D" (for example) in Replace box
6. Select "Current selection only"
7. Accept default radio button "Columns"
8. Accept default "Search in:" dropdown setting "formulas"
9. Click "Replace All" button

Actual Results:
"Search key not found"

Expected Results:
Given formula: =(I28-D29) for a single cell or range of cells, 
Find and replace function to search for "D" and replace it with "C"
Should yield a formula of =(I28-C29)


Reproducible: Always
