Start a new LibreOffice document.  Click on the Edit tab.  Cut has short cut CTRL+X.  Copy has short cut CTRL+C.  Find has short cut CTRL+F.

Find & Replace has short cut key, according to the Edit menu, CTRL+????+F.

What does that mean?

@jacobsallanster@gmail.com:
I do not understand what your problem is.
please:
- Write a meaningful Summary
- Attach screenshots with comments if you believe that that might explain the 
  problem better than a text comment. Best way is to insert your screenshots
  into a DRAW document and to add comments that explain what you want to show
- Contribute a step by step instruction containing every key press and every 
  mouse click how to reproduce your problem (and if possible how to created a 
  sample document from the scratch)
- add information 
  -- what exactly is unexpected
  -- and why do you believe it's unexpected (cite Help or Documentation!)
  -- concerning your PC 
  -- concerning your OS (Version, Distribution, Language)
  -- concerning your LibO localization (UI language)
  –- Libo settings that might be related to your problems 
  -- how you launch LibO and how you opened the sample document
  -- everything else crossing your mind after you read a.m. URL

Please file Bug reports with status UNCONFIRMED if your are not absolutely sure that you contributed all required background information, that the problem will be reproducible with information you can provide or that your enhancement request will be accepted! Thank you!

I don't believe Ctrl+???+F is a legitimate short cut key sequence.
Comment 5 Rainer Bielefeld Retired 2011-10-16 07:54:23 UTC
Strange!

@Allan Jacobs
Please check 
 - entry in Menu 'Toolx -> Customize -> Keyboard'
 - whether ok for other apps. (DRAW, CALC ...)
 - persists when you rename your user profile befoe you start LibO

Please:
- add information 
  -- concerning your OS (Version, Distribution, Language)
  -- concerning your LibO localization (UI language)
  –- Libo settings that might be related to your problems 
  -- how you launch LibO and how you opened the sample document
  -- everything else crossing your mind after you read a.m. URL
  -- Other short keys with 'Alt' affected Menu 'Insert -> Comment', others?

My keyboard is mapped so that Alt keys (left and right) are used to choose the third level (Shift key moves to second level).

I'm having a hard time reproducing the problem.  Even the attached snapshot says Ctrl+Shift+S.  Very strange.

Give me a day.
Comment 7 Allan Jacobs 2011-10-17 15:44:01 UTC
The snapshot attached does display the problem, despite what comment #7 says.  I was rushed this morning.

The good news is that found the setting that causes the problem.  It's the keyboard setting that changes the way Alt keys are handled.  I unset the option "Any Alt key" in the option labeled "Key to choose 3rd level".

The bug persists no matter how I open up an odf document...  I triede the following procedures:

Start from the LibreOffice panel.  Use the "File->Open" menu option,
or
Start from the LibreOffice panel.  Click on the "Text Document" icon,
or
Start Writer directly from the Ubuntu dash (this problem may be Ubuntu specific).  Use "File->Open" to open the document.
or
Start Writer directly from the Ubuntu dash (this problem may be Ubuntu specific).  Use "File->Recent Documents" to open the document.

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:
