(In reply to Lars Jødal from comment #37) > But if you can search within deleted text, then how about Find & Replace? Note that "Find and Replace" is probably better thought of as "Advanced Find or Replace". It is a mistake to think that this dialog should only be used when replacement is intended. The "Find" searchbar is very limited subset of the "Find or Replace" capabilities.

However, I can easily imagine replacing deleted text with changed-but-still-deleted text (as MS Word does). I have a WIP patch at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/206676 that: -treats partially-deleted-text as read-only -replaces entirely-deleted-text as replaced-but-still-deletes text. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1126858 Title: [upstream] Search and replace, with tracked changes on, changing only format of text, causes Writer to hang To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/df-libreoffice/+bug/1126858/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
