In OO Writer, Edit ... Find & Replace ... offers a button offering More

or as a Defect?

Reply to the list if you require assistance filing the issue.

It's grammatically incorrect.
Use "less" when you are talking about a substance that cannot be
enumerated (I.e. I have less Kool-Aid here than I did an hour ago). Use
