1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 11.04
Release: 11.04

2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-writer
libreoffice-writer:
  Installed: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
  Candidate: 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5
  Version table:
 *** 1:3.3.2-1ubuntu5 0

3) What is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer via the Terminal:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/373113/+attachment/2154880/+files/example.doc && lowriter -nologo example.doc

Search for the word "סיכום המחקרים"‎, LO finds it and highlights it.

4) What happens instead is it finds it, but does not highlight it. As well, the text does not appear in the document.

WORKAROUND: Convert the document to .odt:

cd ~/Desktop && wget https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/libreoffice/+bug/373113/+attachment/2154880/+files/example.doc && unoconv --listener && unoconv -f odt example.doc && lowriter -nologo example.odt

Comment 1 Björn Michaelsen 2011-12-23 12:07:51 UTC 
[This is an automated message.]
This bug was filed before the changes to Bugzilla on 2011-10-16. Thus it
started right out as NEW without ever being explicitly confirmed. The bug is
changed to state NEEDINFO for this reason. To move this bug from NEEDINFO back
to NEW please check if the bug still persists with the 3.5.0 beta1 or beta2 prereleases.
Details on how to test the 3.5.0 beta1 can be found at:
http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/BugHunting_Session_3.5.0.-1

Hi,

I've tried LibreOffice Writer 3.5.0 beta2 on Mac OS, and the bug was still there.

Regards,
Haggai

Still happens with LibO 3.6.3. Another thing I've noticed is that invoking any header related change (edit, delete) fixes the problem and the text reappears.

Another option is to change to print layout and back to web layout and everything looks OK.
