# Steps
1. Open ODS document in LibreOffice Viewer app
2. Search (wrong results are being highlighted).
3. Filter (does not work at all, neither tapping, double tapping or long pressing on any of the UI elements has any effect whatsoever)
4. Sort (same as with Filter, nothing happens when interacting with the UI elements)

# System information
* Gigaset GX6
* Android 13
* LibreOffice Viewer 7.6.2.1 (F-Droid)
* LibreOffice 7.6.3.2 (Flatpak) on Arch Linux

Could you please attach the/a sample doc to reproduce/analyze this? I can see wrong search result highlighting in the screenshot, but it works fine with a simple sample document for me, so might be related to the actual document used.

I can confirm this, this functionality is currently not available in Android Viewer. Since it's independent of the wrong search highlighting, could you please create a separate bug report for these? (Then, the new ticket will be for lack of filter and sort, and this ticket will be used for the incorrect search highlighting, which makes it possible to better track the individual issues.)

Hi Michael

I have sent you the desired attachment in confidence by email.

Many thanks!

PD: I will create a new ticket for the Filter thing, sure.

I created a new issue for the filter and sort issue at: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=159142

Thanks a lot! I can reproduce with that sample file after zooming in.

The issue seems to be related to the issue that headers are misplaced, too:
When searching for "Citizen" (as shown in the first screenshot), the highlighted area is where the Calc headers suggest that the cell C132 should be. C132 actually contains the word "Citizen". But the headers are misaligned with the actual content, and what's actually at the highlighted area is the content of another cell that doesn't contain the word that was searched for.

Dear amadeus@paulussen.id,

To make sure we're focusing on the bugs that affect our users today, LibreOffice QA is asking bug reporters and confirmers to retest open, confirmed bugs which have not been touched for over a year.

There have been thousands of bug fixes and commits since anyone checked on this bug report. During that time, it's possible that the bug has been fixed, or the details of the problem have changed. We'd really appreciate your help in getting confirmation that the bug is still present.

If you have time, please do the following:

Test to see if the bug is still present with the latest version of LibreOffice from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/

If the bug is present, please leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.
 
If the bug is NOT present, please set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED-WORKSFORME and leave a comment that includes the information from Help - About LibreOffice.

Please DO NOT

Update the version field
Reply via email (please reply directly on the bug tracker)
Set the bug's Status field to RESOLVED - FIXED (this status has a particular meaning that is not 
appropriate in this case)


If you want to do more to help you can test to see if your issue is a REGRESSION. To do so:
1. Download and install oldest version of LibreOffice (usually 3.3 unless your bug pertains to a feature added after 3.3) from https://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/

2. Test your bug
3. Leave a comment with your results.
4a. If the bug was present with 3.3 - set version to 'inherited from OOo';
4b. If the bug was not present in 3.3 - add 'regression' to keyword
