OO 4.1.6 Spreadsheet on a Windows 10 laptop
Hi.I'm using a spreadsheet I've used for quite a while. Lately with 4.1.6 the Find Text feature has stopped working and trying to use it causes OO to crash. I can enter my text into the text field but when I engage the up/down arrow buttons to indicate the direction of the search, OO crashes and my spreadsheet has to be recovered. The problem goes away when I start Windows 10 in safe mode. I've tried to find this topic addressed in the forum with no luck. Thanks for your help.

This has been reported before, and the problem is only with Windows 10.
The recommended, and (to the best of my knowledge) working, work-around, is to use the Find & Replace dialog (Ctrl+F)

I just fixed this on my system by disabling the microphone, camera, and the three Bluetooth devices on my HP system. If I were a better person, I would go back through and turn things on one at a time to isolate the problem. But I don't use any of that junk.

Turning off Bluetooth, camera and mic didn't work for me but the Find and Replace trick is a workaround I can live with. Thanks to you both for your advice. Sorry about the redundancy but my search terms didn't bring up any usable results, so thanks again for your patience.

I find still this problem, but:
Using Find Text feature and search DOWNWARDS is crashing OO.
Setting the cursor BELOW the tables data and Using Find Text feature and search UPWARDS is NOT crashing OO.

Thanks for the post. Tried your suggestion and OO still crashes. So far using the Find and Replace workaround is the only solution I've had any success with.

For me it did crash 1 time in a hundred when search up. But it did crash a lot when search down.
Yes, while Find and Replace worked always. Its just a few clicks more.
