Description of problem: When using "Edit -> Find & Replace" in ooimpress, the button of the "Find All" can not be selected, it shows gray. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): openoffice.org-core-2.3.0-6.11.el5 How reproducible: Steps to Reproduce: 1. Lauch a ooimpress, and type some characters in it, like "hello hello hello world world world" 2. Go to "Edit -> Find & Replace", type "hello" in "Search for", and type "my" in "Relace with" 3. Repeat the step 1 and 2, and using oowriter instead of ooimpress. Actual results: You will see the "Find All" option is gray, and this function in oowriter can be selected. Expected results: Both in oowriter and ooimpress, the "Find All" can be use. Additional info:
See help: "Finds and selects all instances of the text or the format that you are searching for in the document (only in Writer and Calc documents)." So not a bug. That said, it'd be a whole lot cleverer to just not show the "find all" button in impress/draw
The argument in http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=46270 looks bogus to me, the real reason is presumably because there are multiple edit-engines, and it's not possible to have more than one active at a time. replace-all can go through them sequentially, but a find-all would have to have them all active at the same time (i.e. to support find-all to select all of them and press delete to delete them all). Calc gets around this by having find-all find all the *cells* that contain that text and selecting those, not the individual content within those cells Powerpoint doesn't have a find-all so we're not loosing out in the competitiveness stakes on that front. Best thing to do is probably just remove the button for draw/impress instead of disabling it caolanm->dtardon: can you have a look at removing the "find all" for draw/impress, file a patch upstream, bung it into devel. afterwards I think we'll dev nack this one for RHEL-5 as its too minor to be worth it for any future errata
dtardon->caolanm: aye aye, sir
setting this to assigned
*shrug*, well it was reported against RHEL-5 and we're technically capable of fixing it, so I guess we'll ack it after all.
