Description: In LibreOffice Writer, when you open the "Find and Replace..." dialog box (Ctrl+H), it opens all the time in an expanded version ("Other options" is expanded). In previous versions, this dialog box appeared minimized "Other options" by default. This was the expected behavior. Also, when you click on the "Other options" item and close the dialog box - when you open the dialog box, it opens again in an expanded view of the dialog box (it does not remember the option). Considering that on small laptop screens this dialog box takes up a lot of workspace (and the need to use Other options does not arise often), it would be better if this dialog box were opened in a minimized form by default, as in previous versions. Or if this is an innovation and not a bug, please make it possible to save the opening state (with expanded or minimized "Other options") of this dialog box. Steps to Reproduce: 1. Open LibreOffice writer 2. Open "Find and Replace" dialog box (Ctrl+H) Actual Results: Dialog box open with expanded Other options. Expected Results: Dialog box open with minimized Other options.

According to bug 98544, this is because http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=813397885356c0d63271472adb7d3800e4ac2ca8 tdf#98544 Other Options remain expanded if any checkbox is checked. It will be available in 6.1.0.
