Bug ID: 129449
Summary: Empty lines are not found or not shown when searching
for paragraph styles in Find & Replace
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 6.3.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: sdc.bla...@youmail.dk
Version 1 (to illustrate "not found when at the end of the document"):
Procedure to produce the bug:
1. Open New Document and insert a few characters on the first line with
Default Style
2. Insert 2 CR, then change paragraph style of the second blank line to
Numbering 1 (so that this is the last line in the document)
3. Place cursor on first line, then Find & Replace, check Paragraph Styles,
and select "Numbering 1" in the Find box.
4. Click on ‟Find Next”
Actual Result: Search key not found.
Expected Result: Cursor is placed and shown on the paragraph with Numbering 1
Style
Additional Information:
1. If a character is added to the last line with ‟Numbering 1” Style , then it
is found as expected.
Version 2 (to illustrate "finds, but does not indicate blank lines with
paragraph style"): Procedure:
1. Make a document with the following 4 lines using paragraph styles shown in
[]:
abcd [Default Style]
(only CR here) [Default Style]
(only CR here) [Numbering 1]
a [Default Style]
2. Place cursor on first line, then Find & Replace, check Paragraph Styles,
and select ‟Numbering 1” in the Find box.
3. Click on ‟Find Next”
Actual Result: Finds CR, but no cursor is shown
Expected Result: Cursor is shown on Numbering 1 paragraph
4. Place cursor on first line, then Find & Replace, check Paragraph Styles,
and select ‟Default Style” in the Find box.
5. Click on ‟Find Next” (multiple times)
Actual Result: Finds each paragraph with Default Style (but shows nothing for
the blank line with Default Style)
Expected Result: Would also show some indicator (e.g., blinking cursor) for
the blank line with default style.
Additional information.
Use case: This ‟toy example” only illustrates the problem. But consider
having a 30 page document, and wanting to search on a particular style (in part
to ‟clean up” stray blank lines that have paragraphs styles that you want to
remove or change.) It is hard and confusing to get ‟hits” but not be able to
see where on the page the actual paragraph style is located.
