Created attachment 84026 [details] sample document Searching inside a frame that contains a table will not "wrap around" the search on subsequent search operations. The bug is apparently ancient. I found it in LO 4.1.0, but when tested under OO 3.0.1 it was still there, and it might be older than that. 3.3.0 is the oldest option LO. Steps to recreate: * Go into writer and create a document * Create a frame (Insert->Frame) of any type * Position in the frame * Create a table inside the frame of any size (Insert->Table) * Type a word in one of the cells * Activate find [search] (Edit->Find) * Type in the word you entered in the cell and press the "Find" button * It will find and highlight the word you entered in the cell * Press the "Find" button again * It will say "LibreOffice Writer has searched to the end of the document. Do you want to continue at the beginning?" Click on "Yes" * It will NOT find the word again, no matter how many times you try the Find function. Not until you position the cursor somewhere OUTSIDE the frame (even clicking outside the table inside the same frame will not reset it). If your document is complex, this search behavior is very frustrating, unfriendly, and essentially lies to the user. Just to make things faster to diagnose, I am attaching a sample document that can be used for the test, but creating your own sample only takes a moment.
