Description DErik 2020-09-10 06:33:40 UTC
Description:
When the Find Bar is displayed, and the cursor is in the text entry field, Cmd-G finds the next match, and Shift-Cmd-G finds the previous. When the cursor is in a cell of the spreadsheet with the Find Bar displayed, Cmd-G finds the previous match and Shift-Cmd-G does nothing. When the Find Bar is not displayed, Cmd-G finds the next match and Shift-Cmd-G does does nothing.
Correct behavior: Cmd-G should always find the next match and Shift-Cmd-G should always find the previous match, regardless of the display of the Find Bar and regardless of where the cursor is focused.

I am getting the same results, the bug is still present in 7.0.3.0.0+

Find Bar Displayed + Cursor in text entry field: Both Cmd-G, and Cmd-Shift-G work properly
Find Bar Displayed + Cursor NOT in text entry field: Cmd-G works, Cmd-Shift-G does NOT
Find Bar Hidden: Cmd-G works, Cmd-Shift-G does NOT

Or if it helps anybody to read it this way instead
Cmd-Shift-G does not work when the find bar is hidden OR when the find bar is open and the selection is on a cell

As of 9 Sep 2024, using LO version 24.8.0.3, the bug still exists. With a minor change. Regardless of whether the find bar is displayed or not, the Cmd-G now searches backwards, finding the previous occurance. The Shift-Cmd-G does nothing unless the cursor is in the text entry field of the find bar.
