------- Additional comments from nicklevin...@openoffice.org Mon Feb 9 07:48:26 +0000 2009 ------- In Calc's Find, an option disables itself prematurely. To reproduce: --- In a native-format spreadsheet you don't need, select a column with data. (This does not happen if you select only a cell.) --- Bring up Find. --- Select More Options > Current Selection Only. --- Other settings include don't match case, not entire cells, not backwards, not regex, not similarity search, not search for styles, search in values, search direction as rows, and don't search in all sheets. --- Enter a search string that won't appear or that'll appear a bunch of times so you may replace all instances with something else. --- Select Replace All. --- You've probably succeeded in replacing strings, but if the spreadsheet were large you wouldn't know that yet, so, to get confirmation, select Replace All again. --- The absence of the string in the range (due to either failure or having succeeded) will produce the window that says "Search key not found." Select OK for the box. This will leave your Find dialog up but Current Selection Only will be unchecked and disabled. The disabling will occur as soon as the contents of the search-key-not-found window are filled in (on my setup, the window shows up as an empty frame first that is soon filled in), even before you've clicked OK, but not when the window first starts being drawn. In order to enable the option again, you have to reselect the already-selected range again. Simply clicking on the spreadsheet's title bar or toolbar region won't re-enable it. Clicking the column letter label re-enables the option, after which you have to reselect (recheckmark) the option, too. As a variant, I tried it again but with Backwards also chosen. In that case, two results differed: --- Backwards did not disable. --- Curent Selection Only still did disable, but at a different time: It disabled when the small window that would soon say "Search key not found." first drew its frame on screen, and did not wait for the window to complete drawing. I haven't tested other options. Since limiting a series of searches to a selection is not a dangerous step requiring either strong notice or prevention, this looks like it should be fixed for future versions. No retrofit is suggested. I'm using OOo 2.4.0 on Fedora Core 4 Linux with Gnome 2.10.0 desktop. Possibly relevant issues include 92633, 58930, 55747, & 55220.
