Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 124171
'Find & Replace' dialog forgets 'Match case' option
Last modified: 2024-02-18 10:51:27 UTC
Steps how to reproduce Reproducible with server installation of "AOO 4.1.0-Dev – English UI / German locale - [AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1562493 - 2014-01-30]" on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", own separate user profile: 1. From AOO Start Cente open attached sample.odt 2. Menu 'Edit -> Find & Replace' -> Search for "WANT" -> Options = "Match case" and "Whole words only", nothing else -> [Find] 3. [Yes] for "do you want to continue?" 4. [Ok] "Search Key not found 5. Close dialog with 'Close-X' at top right corner of dialog 6. Menu 'Edit -> Find & Replace' > Options still "Match case", "Whole words only" 7. Redo same search 2 ... 5 8. Menu 'Edit -> Find & Replace' > Options still "Match case", "Whole words only" 9. Redo same search 2 ... 5, but change "Backwards" option (check if unchecked or vice versa" 10. 6. Menu 'Edit -> Find & Replace' > Now option "Match case" has been lost Additional Info: ---------------- (a) My tests seem to show that it is even more simple: Always if you change any other option before you close dialog with 'Close-X' or <Esc> or [Close] Options "Match case" will be lost (b) will not be lost if you close dialog with <control+f> (d) This might be bothering if you only opened 'Find and Replace' to define Options "Match case" and "Whole words only" for 'Find Bar', then [Esc]: "Match case" will be lost (e) 'a' already reproducible with sever installation of "OOo 3.3.0 English UI / German locale [OOO330m20 (Build 9567)]" on WIN7 Home Premium (64bit) DE (f) 'a' was still ok with OOo 3.2.1 (g) Already reproducible with Pre-3.4.0 (OOo 3.3.0), but because of crippled Version selector (Bug 123063) no useful info can be contributed
(h) Still Reproducible with server installation of "AOO 4.1.0-Dev – English UI / German locale - [AOO410m1(Build:9750) - Rev. 1562493 - 2014-01-30]" on German WIN7 Home Premium (64bit)", own separate user profile.

Comment on attachment 82592 [details] Find & Replace still see dialog box 'Match Case' option 1. Start -> Programs -> Open Office 3.3.org -> Open Office.org Writer 2. File Open -> Sample.odt 3. Menu ‘Edit -> Find & Replace’ -> search for “WANT” -> Options = “Match case” and “Whole words only” displays with check boxes to left and below line displays “More Options” -> Select [Find] 4. [OK] “Search key not found” or [Yes] for “….do you want to continue at the beginning?” 5. Close dialog with ‘Close-X’ at top right corner of dialog 6. Redo same search 3…5 7. Redo same search 3…5, but change “Backwards” option (check if unchecked) 8. All option still display via Windows 7 machine and Open Office 3.3.org Options -> “Match Case” and “Whole words only” displays with check boxes to left and below line displays “More Options”
I am speaking with SharPorz about her bug report. I am unable to replicate this issue on AOO 4.0.1 on Win 7, locally installed. Using Rainer Bielefeld's steps, I repeated the described sequence 3 times. On the fourth iteration, I checked the Backwards options. On the fifth iteration, the Match case option was still available. I chose Match case on first time through the sequence. For the second, third, and fourth times through the sequence, my Match case selection was preserved. I chose the Backwards option on the fourth iteration and noticed that my Match case selection was not preserved.
Created attachment 82638 [details] Sample Document I can reproduce that with 2x WIN7 64 bit and 1x WIN XP 32 Bit, so I am afraid there is something unclear in my description. The simple proceeding: Open 'Find & Replace' Dialog -> Check "Match Case" -> Find something successfully -> Toggle "Backwards" option -> Close 'Find & Replace' Dialog -> Open 'Find & Replace' Dialog. "Match Case" has gone
I think my description in original report does not tell clearly at what moment the 'Backwards' option has to be toggled. May be better: 1. From AOO Start Center open attached sample1.odt 2. Menu 'Edit -> Find & Replace -> Search for "WANT" -> Options = "Match case"' You will find it 3. change "Backwards" option (check if unchecked or vice versa) 4. Close 'Find & Replace' dialog 5. Menu 'Edit -> Find & Replace' to reopen dialog Bug: Option "Match case" has gone
