Description Heiko Tietze 2024-04-05 13:51:12 UTC
Follow-up to bug 95405: The actual search term is indicated with square brackets that may not so easy to spot. However, the Microsoft way with bold font weight is even worse. And ultimately the text flashes in the document itself.

Yes, I've no issue with the applied bracket in the result "node" especially as focus on the node in SB repositions to and flashes its spot on document canvas.

find characters combined with unicode middle dot

I've been poking around with unicode combining characters for fun.

The attached screenshot shows the unicode middle dot combining character combined with the search term characters in the square brackets.

Does it affect diacritics as in sw/qa/core/text/data/tdf89288.fodt for Mongolian or Arabic as in صِرَ ٰطَ? Run into serious trouble with NNBSP at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/167891.

Design-wise it's also not convincing to me. But others might have a different view.
