Description sonajaqufe 2014-09-29 12:46:50 UTC
How to reproduce
1. Open Writer, insert an image and add a caption to it with some words.
2. Copy & paste same words as body text above figure.
3. Insert page break or dummy text to move figure to next page.
4. Scroll to top of document, press CTRL+F & CTRL+C to copy same words as search term.
5. Click "Find all" => Buggy behaviour: View jumps to search result in figure caption, ignoring first result in body text.
6. Repeat with only "Find" => Slightly better behaviour: View cycles through search results in body text first, then through figure captions.


Expected behaviour: "Find all" should not jump view, but only highlight. Or at least jump to next search result, without regard to body text or figure caption.

PS: Some background on the use-case. In some text and/or (La)TeX editors one can select a phrase and other occurrences of it are automatically highlighted. This helps a lot in scientific writing to for example find places to spell-out an abbreviation or the reverse. I tried using LibreOffice Writer's "Find All" option for this purpose. Except for the view jumping away from where I wanted to start searching, it has worked fine.

Same behaviour/bug still present in LO 5.0.2.2 on Win7 Pro 64bit.

Regression tested with 
http://downloadarchive.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/old/3.3.0.4/portable/LibreOfficePortable_3.3.0.paf.exe => same behaviour/bug, except that 6. "Find" cycles through results in caption first (minor problem compared to 5. "Find all")

Dear sonajaqufe,

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
