Description R. Green 2019-12-08 20:40:08 UTC
Use any convenient writer document as a specimen.

1. Position the cursor at the beginning of the text.
2. Open the Find and Replace dialog (Ctrl + H)
3. Put a letter, say, into the Find box. Add some asterisks, say, in the Replace box.
3. Click the find shortcut (x) to select the desired letter.
4. Click the Replace shortcut(r).

Expected result: The selected letter is replaced and the cursor selects the next occurence of the letter.
Actual result: The focus shifts to the "Replace" key but nothing further happens.

Workaround: The user has to click the Replace key with a mouse instead.

Note: The Replace keyboard shortcut also needs to work as a repeater when held down–as it does in OpenOffice.

Despite contradictory information about whether older versions of LO
worked:
  - this report comment says inherited from OOo
  - bug 123825 comment 7 says 6.2.5 worked
I am setting status RESOLVED DUPLICATE 123825
