very simple example showing the problem

This is certainly a bug quite simple to fix, but it makes Tibetan almost unuseable in LO. The search field seems to search only the first tibetan letter of what's inside it, and finds many false results.

As an example, open the attached file (created with LO 4.4.4.1-beta from Debian/sid. It contains just "ས་ས་ མྲ་ སྲ་". Then open the search bar (Ctrl+F) and paste "སྲ" without the quotes. Click on an arrow, LibreOffice highlights the first "ས་" which it obviously shouldn't.
Comment 1 Elie Roux 2015-06-30 10:33:51 UTC
Changed component to "linguistics". ས་ and སྲ start by the same collation element (ས་) according to http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/tree/i18npool/source/collator/data/dz_charset.txt , maybe that's the problem? This would be a bug anyway.

Beluga, I've just reproduced it with 5.0.1.2, why did you change it back to 4.4.4.1-rc? Was the bug fixed for you?
Comment 5 Buovjaga 2015-09-02 13:02:25 UTC
Please read the version field: Version: (earliest affected)
Reverted change again.
Comment 6 Elie Roux 2015-09-02 13:04:24 UTC
Ok thanx!
Comment 7 Elie Roux 2016-08-15 18:20:35 UTC
With latest master, the bug disappears by unchecking the "Ignore diacritics CTL" in the "Other options" of the search dialogue...

As diacritics should always be ignored in Tibetan (as these are real letters, not optional signs), is there a way to make a by-language setting?

still present in 6.1.5.2
Comment 11 Kevin Suo 2020-11-23 15:54:57 UTC
I do not reproduce this bug behaviour in version 7.1 beta1 and 6.4.7. When search སྲ, Writer hilights the last char, which should be what you expect. Could you confirm?

I set this to NEEDINFO. Please set back to NEW if you still reproduce this with newer version (at least 6.4.7 or 7.0 release).
