Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 102103
find replace searching for font with color white finds color black/automatic instead
Last modified: 2013-08-02 14:27:08 UTC
I create cloze texts making the hidden words white. To create a readable solution I selct the whole text and choose font color automatic. But: If in the text there are colorizde words, they get lost. Also if I want colorize the solution (to show, where there have been the blanks/gaps/holes) I get a problem. Tried find&replace searchig for „white“ and replacing with „green“. Writer doesnt replace the whit, but the black (automatic) characters of the whole document!!! That's bad. see also 91769
This is a bug, which makes writer crashing! find (one font color) an replace (with another font color) in a document with some more lines brings up a window „To proceed with this action, you must first turn off the „undo“ function. Do you want to turn off the „undo“ function?“ Clicking „Yes“ makes OO freeze!!!
Please attach a sample document and give a step by step description of what you do, get and expect.
see attachement or create an own document with usual black (automatic) colored text and some words colored (font color) white. open document (don't select anything) alt+e f (edit, find and replace) (don't write anything!) alt+o (more options) alt+m (format) alt+c (font color) w (white) enter (ok) 3 ⨯ tab (replace with) (don't write anything!) alt+m (format) alt+c (font color) l ↓↓↓ (light red) enter (ok) alt+l (replace all) writer replaces *most of* the black (automatic) colored characters (thats new - in former tries it colored *all* black characters light red. (Make the document larger. writer asks you to turn off the undo function... turn off writer freezes)
Created attachment 62466 [details] example document
I think it's clear, that I expect to get the former white characters colorized light red now.
