I have a habit of starting a comment with Ctrl-Alt-C while the cursor is inside a word. If I do that, say with the word "ablative", and the comment anchor (the little triangle) is between "l" and "a", Find won't match it. Comments, by definition, should not be considered part of the text and should not affect Find or Replace.
Not reproducible for me with : Version: 25.8.2.0.0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 01a4db02715ff12bfed0425784eccfca9ac47d41 CPU threads: 8; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: fr-FR (fr_FR.UTF-8); UI: fr-FR Ubuntu_22.04_x86-64 Calc: default Please, could you provide a test file with which you encounter this issue. And add a step by step procedure to reproduce the problem. Set status to needinfo, reset it back to unconfirmed once requested information is provided. Best regards. JBF
Created attachment 202667 [details] ODT file which can be used to demonstrate bug Steps to replicate bug: 1)Open the sample document attached. 2)Press Ctrl-F to open the find panel(?) at the bottom of the LO Writer window. 3)Enter 'denouncing' and press Enter. 4)Watch it not match that word in the text, which has a comment anchored in the middle of it. 5)Delete the only comment in the document. 6)Click the down-arrow icon in the Find panel. 7)Watch it match.
(In reply to Carl Fink from comment #2) > Created attachment 202667 [details] > ODT file which can be used to demonstrate bug Thank you for your answer. I can't still reproduce the bug. Following your steps to reproduce the bug, the word "denouncing" is highlighted at the end of step 3. What is your Linux distribution and your desktop environment? Mine are Ubuntu 22.04 LTS and Gnome. How did you install your version of LibreOffice? Best regards. JBF
Hi. This box is running Devuan daedalus. I'm currently using Xfce4. LO 25.2.4.3 build 33e196637044ead23f5c3226cde09b47731f7e27 installed by downloading a deb from libreoffice.org. I installed 25.2.5.2-2, and the behavior changed. It's still wrong, but less wrong. Now it matches the word "denouncing" in the comment itself, but not in the document body. If you like, after posting this I can log out and back in with GNOME.
I cannot reproduce with Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community Build ID: 8ea8e254a3151f5390f3a10ff156fcaf8e7c5d5c CPU threads: 4; OS: Linux 6.8; UI render: default; VCL: gtk3 Locale: cs-CZ (cs_CZ.UTF-8); UI: en-US Calc: threaded I can find word "denouncing" and the word is selected after enter.
Working fine for me in 25.2 and the latest master on Linux. (In reply to Carl Fink from comment #4) > I installed 25.2.5.2-2, and the behavior changed. It's still wrong, but less > wrong.

You can't search through comments via the Quick Find bar. Did you use the dialog and if so, can you check what is activated there?
