Description RP3 2015-10-06 08:13:09 UTC
In a Form, Edit - Find or ctrl-F oes not bring up a dialog box or do anything so far as I can tell.

Confirming in

Version: 5.1.0.0.alpha1+
Build ID: 11fe4810ad82eaeb50c164b33c4f908c8fc045f1
Locale : fr-FR (fr.UTF-8)

on OSX 10.11

The shortcut to Search/Replace does work though, so this might be a regression.

On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I confirm the bug.
I got no specific logs on console.

I tried to find the root cause by creating a bt from Search/Replace location (svx/source/dialog/srchdlg.cxx:273, found with https://translations.documentfoundation.org by enabling keyid) which is ok but bt doesn't show where the command comes from. I've got only a stack of dispatch, binding ... methods.
In brief, I don't have a slight idea how to investigate :-(

Could confirm the behavior is already there (LO 5.3.0.0alpha1). But don't know, what you will look for in a database-form with "Find". If you create an external form in Writer you could activate "Find" - but it doesn't have a look for any content in a formcontrol.
There are other functions to search through the content of a table, which is linked to the form. "Find" doesn't work there.
It would be better to show this function is disabled in a form. At this moment it is a little bit irritating.

Dear RP3,

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
