Description: Hey. Search tool applying to special characters does not update its searches while selecting new font name entries. I cannot remember if the tool has ever operated by updating that field in releases from version 6. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Enter "check mark" into the search field; 2. Move to Font field with tabulator, which leads to list Font's first entry Abyssinica SIL; 3. Press down-arrow as many times as needed to reach font entry DejaVu Sans. See Writer_7.0.1.2_Special_characters_search.png; 4. Inspect the Font field state by clicking that field's down-arrow; 5. Press Enter. Actual Results: 2. As intended there is no target listed for that font. 3. Unexpectedly there is no target listed for that font. 4. Font DejaVu Sans is indeed selected and active there, which is indicated by the blue code color as text background. 5. At last the Font field gets updated since a target is exhibited. Expected Results: Search operation to be updated according to the active Font name entry. Reproducible: Always User Profile Reset: Yes Additional Info: Help - About LibreOffice can no more be copied.

Confirmed. Recent masters and 7.0.1.2 release builds.
If I first change to "DejaVu Sans", then type "check mark" I see that the "subset" is grayed out If I first type "check mark", I see that "subset" is grayed out for the current font, but when I change the font to "DejaVu Sans" it is ungrayed again. That seems to be at least part of the problem.

ok, I'll close this then. I was waiting until https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/104301 was also in 7-0 because that improves some related aspects of the combobox
