Description Nicolas Mailhot 2016-05-12 16:14:03 UTC
Search and replace does not work on footnotes unless the cursor is in a footnote

This is unintuitive and there is no easy way to enable S&R with ot without footnotes

Hi Nicolas,

Thanks for reporting - I cannot confirm this on a recent daily build: Version: 5.2.0.0.alpha1+

nor in 5.1.2.2

Do you have a specific file? Can you test in 5.1.2.2 ?

ciao - Cor

I hit it while anonymizing
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?id=125013

(in 5.1.3 win32 7 release but it does not exist in bugzilla)

It needed specific workarounds for S&R to work on footnotes, IIRC even putting the cursor in a footnote was insufficient, I needed to select some text there too
Comment 3 Nicolas Mailhot 2016-05-14 08:59:45 UTC
(that was the variant where I had removed the right margin text areas in openoffice.org before, since they kill S&R in LO pretty effectively. With all the bugs it triggers I had to re-anonimize the production file a couple of times)

On page 6 there is a footnote. I can search and replace in it just fine without cursor being inside it.

Nicolas, can you elaborate on the reproduction steps? (and preferably, try with current 5.2.3 or 5.3beta2 releases)
