--- Comment #38 from Justin L <[email protected]> --- (In reply to Lars Jødal from comment #37) > But if you can search within deleted text, then how about Find & Replace? Note that "Find and Replace" is probably better thought of as "Advanced Find or Replace". It is a mistake to think that this dialog should only be used when replacement is intended. The "Find" searchbar is very limited subset of the "Find or Replace" capabilities. > Can anybody come up with a case where searching within deleted text > and replacing with new text would be the intended behaviour? I can't imagine this ever being intended. However, I can easily imagine replacing deleted text with changed-but-still-deleted text (as MS Word does). I have a WIP patch at https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/206676 that: -treats partially-deleted-text as read-only -replaces entirely-deleted-text as replaced-but-still-deletes text. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are the assignee for the bug.
