Description: When activating "Find", i.e. opening the Find Bar, the previous search item is displayed for reuse. This has been so in earlier versions and is okay. However, as of LO version 7, it is no longer highlighted. Thus, if I input a different search item, it is inserted in front of the one offered for reuse. This is a new bug. Incidentally, if the Find Bar is not closed after leaving it, the behavior is as follows: If the graphic cursor was in the document editing window and is then placed back in the Find Bar by clicking in it, the search text displayed is highlighted. (Correct) If the graphic cursor was in a different (non-LO) window and is placed back into the LO window by clicking anywhere in it, the search text in the Find bar is highlighted. (Unnecessary) Steps to Reproduce: 1. CTRL-f 2. In the Find Bar, search for "XX". 3. Close the Find Bar. 4. CTRL-f Actual Results: In the Find Bar, XX is offered for reuse. However, it is not highlighted. Expected Results: It should be highlighted.

Fine. However, the present report contains a piece of additional information that may be useful to heed in Writer. See original description, "Incidentally ...".
You can NOT report 2 bugs in a bug report, so I consider the case with the Find shoing the previous search unselected. For another problem it is needed another bug report.
