[Bug 123455] New: Find input line contents may not be replaced by
text selection if "Regular Expressions" is checked
https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=123455
Bug ID: 123455
Issue Type: DEFECT
Summary: Find input line contents may not be replaced by text
selection if "Regular Expressions" is checked
Product: Writer
Version: 3.4.0
Hardware: PC
OS: Windows 7
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: P3
Component: ui
Assignee: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Reporter: rainerbielefeld_ooo_qa@bielefeldundbuss.de
CC: issues@openoffice.apache.org
Created attachment 81739
--> https://issues.apache.org/ooo/attachment.cgi?id=81739&action=edit
Sample Document
Still reproducible with "AOO 4.0.1 – German UI / German locale [Rev. 1524958
2013-09-20 11:40:29]" on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", “historic” 4.0
User Profile used for all predecessor versions:
1. From AOO Start Center open attached sample document
> Caret flashes before beginning of text
2. <control+f> for 'Find and Replace' dialog
3. Into 'Find' input line type "general|TAB|absolutely" (or copy / paste
from here without quotation marks) -> in "More Options" check
"Regular Expressions"
4. [Find] always finds any of the words "general", "tab", "TAB", "absolutely"
in text (as expected)
5. [down-doublearrow] below vertical page scroll slider ('Continue search
forward') finds any of the words "general", "tab", "TAB", "absolutely"
in text (as expected)
6. [Close] in 'Find and Replace' dialog
> dialog disappears
7. [down-doublearrow] below vertical page scroll slider ('Continue search
forward') finds any of the words "general", "tab", "TAB", "absolutely"
in text (as expected)
8. <control+f> to reopen 'Find and Replace' dialog
Expected: "general|TAB|absolutely" in Find input line
Actual: search string with replaced by last found word
Additional info:
(a) that replacing is the normal function, 'Find and Replace'
always opens with selected text in Find input line might
(b) function as per (a) is comfortable for normal search needs, users often
want to find a selected string at other places in text
(c) function as per (a) is no problem for normal search, because after a
search hit the same string what is contents in Find input line is
the same as the highlighted string in the text, so input line contents
will be replaced by an identical text string
(d) but function as per (a) is not a good idea for find with regular
expressions, generally user will want top edit the search settings or
search string after step 8, but if the old search string has become
destroyed that will be unnecessary hard
(e) I found this during my investigations for Bug 86411, what might have been
fixed in between (still some research required)
(f) that never worked better, I already see the complained behavior in
OOo 1.1.5
(g) It seems this problem only is relevant for Writer, find functions of
Calc and Draw are too different.

(h) Still reproducible with "AOO 4.1.0-Dev – English UI / German locale -
[AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1525917 - 2013-09-25]" on German WIN7 Home
Premium (64bit)", own separate user profile, but because of incomplete LCo
selector (Bug 123063) no correct information can be left.
(i) Already reproducible with Pre-3.4.0 (OOo 1.1.5), but because of crippled
Version selector (Bug 123063) no useful info can be left
