Bug ID: 152862
Summary: LO Writer's Find/Replace Formats is broken when
searching for color
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.3.7.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: Linux (All)
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: libreoffice-bugs@lists.freedesktop.org
Reporter: alexis.di...@pdx.edu

Here's the Find and Replace dialog showing extraneous parameters after I tried
to search for Font Color "red"
Precís: When I try to open existing multi-page documents with lots of text
formatting, including color formatting, and I try to search for one color under
Find and Replace (dialog) > Format… (button) > Font Effects (tab) > Font Color
(drop-down menu)—e.g., to find text formatted with "Red" and change it to
"Blue"—extraneous formatting is included in the search parameters rendering a
search only for red text impossible.
Expected behavior: Selecting a text formatting property/properties, such as a
text color, decoration, indentation, etc. should be restricted only to the
property/properties selected by the user.
Actual behavior: Selecting only Font Color "Red" and then pressing "Ok" to
return to the Find and Replace dialog results in the following list of text
formatting properties applied to Find: "None, Light Red, No strikethrough, No
overline" rendering the find/replace function broken if text does not conform
to these extraneous properties.
Aside: notice that Writer is also getting something wrong with the color name;
I selected "Red" but "Light Red" shows up on the parameter string (see attached
image).
I do not know which version this behavior cropped up in: I know that find &
replace by formatting has a on and off working again/broken again history
across different LO versions in my experience.
