Description Christian Lehmann 2024-01-27 11:54:45 UTC
Description:
In the 'Find and Replace' submenu, the Format tab allows the specification of many formats, including 'Effects: Case'. Choosing the option '(Without)' there has no effect, neither in the Find line nor in the Replace line. It would be needed, e.g. to remove small caps from a certain search string.
This bug is much older than version 7.5.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. CTRL-h
2. Find line: type some search string
3. Replace line: type the same string
4. Put cursor in either Find line or Replace line
5. Click 'Format - Font Effects - Effects - Case - (Without)
6. OK
(7. Replace)

Actual Results:
Nothing happens after step 6. Nor does step 7 have the desired effect.

Expected Results:
After step 6, the format choice should be shown beneath the Find line or the Replace line, as the case may be. In step 7, the choice should be heeded.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes

Additional Info:
In the use case described, the button 'No Format' would do the job, too; but it is not made available (greyed out).
