Description Bugcruncher 2014-07-30 17:18:51 UTC
Created attachment 103690 [details]
Screenshot shows extra long Find Bar

Problem description: 
Useless waste of place with strange view if Find Bar exceeds Window at the right 

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open new empty Writer Document
2. <control+f> for Find bar
3. Rightclick Find bar  ► Customize
   » At the end of the items list you find an empty entry
     I can't find out for what that might be

I think the problem appeared with "The Navigation buttons have been moved from below the scrollbar to the Find bar"

              
Operating System: Windows 7
Version: 4.3.0.3 rc
Last worked in: 4.2.5.2 release
Comment 1 A (Andy) 2014-07-30 19:48:20 UTC
reproducible with LO 4.3.0.4 (Win 8.1)

The attached screenshot is only reproducible if the Find Toolbar is (is moved) at the top next to the other toolbars (the toolbar is then shortened and showing the arrows).  If this toolbar is at the bottom or on a separate line then you will not see the arrows at the right.


But even if the toolbar is at the bottom or separate line it is reproducible in another way by:
1. Right click on the Find Toolbar
2.1.1. Select CUSTOMIZE TOOLBAR
2.1.2. Scroll the TOOLBAR CONTENT to the end
or 
2.2.1. Go to VISIBLE BUTTONS

There you will find an empty entry.

I did observing with Calc & agree it's a strange behavior, don't know if that behavior has particular intention. 

Confirmed those behavior explained in comment 0 and comment 1 with LO 4.3.1.1 - Ubuntu 12.04 x86
Comment 3 Robinson Tryon (qubit) 2014-08-14 14:23:56 UTC
Remove 'NeedAdvice' from whiteboard now that this is marked as NEW.
Comment 4 Cor Nouws 2014-11-03 20:50:18 UTC
one could possibly think that this has to do with translation ?? But not that much IMO
Comment 5 Cor Nouws 2014-11-05 15:19:09 UTC
Ah, it's used to display "Item not found" or somesuch :)
Comment 6 Bugcruncher 2014-11-06 07:38:54 UTC
Indeed, the area is for messages "reached end of page", "not found" and may be others. Useful feature, but such an empty area is worrying, and the message looks equal to "Find All", what is a button. So
* Design of message area should be different from button area.
* add Tooltip due to "Bug 85952 - 
  Tooltip missing for new Message area in find bar"
Comment 7 Bugcruncher 2014-11-06 07:53:41 UTC
Also related to "Bug 85953 - Missing Item Text for Find Bar Message Field"

I think no bibisect is required, this simply is a new, still incomplete feature.

Comment 9 Matthew Francis 2014-12-30 10:07:51 UTC
The below commit is where this feature was implemented

Adding Cc: to matus@libreoffice.org. Could you possibly take a look at this and see if there is an obvious way not to show the find message space as though it were an overflowed button? Thanks

    fdo#74132: Do not interrupt search in Writer.
    
    Instead of "Do you want to continue at the beginning?" dialog,
    just inform that we were at the end of the document in new label.
    
    Also replace 'Search key not found' dialog with label.

Adding bibisected to whiteboard as bisected keyword is a subset of bibisected whiteboard.

Thanks!

Comment 12 Andras Timar 2015-01-21 20:57:54 UTC
My patch adds a label to .uno:SearchLabel, so at least we will see something in Customize dialog. It makes little sense to switch off this placeholder, because then the messages will be written at the left edge of the toolbar, which looks ugly. It should not be configurable.

Comment 20 Jim Raykowski 2018-04-08 01:56:24 UTC
In addition to the patch made to display messages in the overflow tool bar >> , there is also a patch for dynamically sizing the message (bug 116956) which provides for only the amount of space needed for the message to be displayed to be used. Customized toolbar items and toolbars placed after the message area adjust according to message size.

I am setting this to resolved fixed.
