Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: openoffice.org
1) Ubuntu 9.04.
2) OpenOffice Writer 1:3.0.1-9Ubuntu3
I select a portion of text in which I would like to do a "find &
replace." After selecting the text, I type "ctrl-f" to bring up the find
and replace dialogue box. I input appropriate text into the "search for"
and "replace with" fields. Click "replace all."
3) Result: the function works properly, but the text that I selected before
typing "ctrl-f" has become unselected.
4) Expected result: The function would work properly, and then maintain the
same text selection as before the find and replace. This would enable me to do
a second "find and replace" without closing the "find and replace" dialogue
box, reselecting the same text, and then going back to the "find and replace"
dialoge box.
Perhaps the program was designed this way intentionally and there are
good reasons for doing it as it currently works. In any case, thanks for
the wonderful program, and thanks for all your marvelous work. Hope my
small input helps. Cheers,
---Andy
