No change count from Calc's Find & Replace

Post by Mohawk »

In Writer: performing a "Replace All" reports the number of substitutions made. This is helpful.

In Calc: the same operation reports nothing unless no matches are found. This is not helpful.

(AOO for Win64, v4.1.2)

That's just ridiculous. LibreOffice has features I dislike compared with AOO, and anyway this is the AOO forum! The objective is to improve AOO, not abandon it for something else.

Then it's a pity the logo is Apache OpenOffice and the URL is forum.openoffice.org. Misleading.

Nonetheless, I'm commenting on AOO, which I would have made clear in the first post had I realised this forum does not distinguish. I have edited the title.

Perhaps you could recommend somewhere specific to discuss bugs and feature requests, specifically for AOO?

Sorry, I didn't realise that. I use OpenOffice in Win7, and have started using Linux where LibreOffice was pre-installed - I didn't get on with it (now replaced with OpenOffice).

It's a bit odd that the forum name is "Apache OpenOffice" then! I wouldn't have come here looking for support on Libre.
