Description D. Browne 2014-04-22 21:28:49 UTC
Problem description: 
Find/Replace for format is reversed from proper operation - the replace button finds the next format, and does a replacement.
IT DOES THIS ON 4.2.3.3, EVEN THOUGH IT WON'T LET ME SAY THAT IN THE BUG REPORT VERSION THE BUG APPEARED LINE ABOVE...
Steps to reproduce:
1. Enter 5 short, 1-sentence paragraphs.
2. Italicize several words randomly in those sentences.
3. put the cursor at the top
4. bring up Find & Replace dialog
5. expand "Other options"
6. click in "Search for:" box
7. click Format button, on Font tab, select Italic for the Style drop-down, click OK.
8. click in "Replace with:" box
9. click Format button, on Font tab, select "Bold Italic" from Style drop-down, click OK.

Current behavior:
When click "Find" button, it finds the first italic word. When I click the "Replace" button, it moves to the next italic word, and makes it bold italic.

Expected behavior:
I expect that when I click the "Find" button, it will find the first italic word, and when I click the "Replace" button, it will replace what it just found - an italic word, with bold italic attributes, and then find the next italic word, but not replace the text attributes until I click the "Replace" button once again.

Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.2.2.1 release

Confirmed in Linux Mint in 3.6.7, 4.1.6, 4.2.4 and 4.3 beta.

Instead of replacing the entry that was last found and highlighted and then highlight following entry, it jumps to the following entry and replaces it and doesnt highlight anything after that.

Dear D. Browne,

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


Feel free to come ask questions or to say hello in our QA chat: https://web.libera.chat/?settings=#libreoffice-qa

Thank you for helping us make LibreOffice even better for everyone!

Warm Regards,
QA Team
