By the way, it is not possible to only Find using Match Case or Whole Words Only or any of the other options. Users must guess that they have to invoke the Find and Replace dialog even though they don't need the Replace function. That's not exactly intuitive. If I want to do a case-senstive Find I should be able to open the dialog with Control-F and select that option. As it is now, Control-F takes me to the Find toolbar which cannot be disabled. [Tested in Windows XP, LibreOffice 3.4.2] Mwah, there may be so much that does not work when the find bar has the focus. Is this really a bug?

Users must guess that they have to invoke the etc. Hi Charles, The interaction of options set with the working find bar, already is mentioned in other issues. [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 more detail on this bulk operation: http://nabble.documentfoundation.org/RFC-Operation-Spamzilla-tp3607474p3607474.html reproduced this: if cursor placed in any toolbar, no keyboard short-cuts work reproduced in LibO 3.6.0 master on Fedora 64 bit *** Bug 45903 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. *** reproducible with LO 4.3.2.2 (Win 8.1) If the cursor placed in any toolbar, no shortcut key works. But Ctrl+Alt+F is in my LO release no shortcut for the FIND & REPLACE dialog. The shortcut for this dialog is Ctrl+H. |
