            Bug ID: 113450
           Summary: Cannot enter text involving the ALT key in the find
                    and replace dialog box
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 5.4.2.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: christianw_lehmann at arcor.de

Description:
Both in the "Search" line and in the "Replace" line, pressing the ALT key
highlights the text already contained in the line (for overwriting). As a
consequence, it is impossible to type an expression containing a character (in
non-first position) involving the ALT key.


Steps to Reproduce:
1. CTRL-ALT f
2. Type A[ in the search line or in the replace line.

Actual Results:  
[

Expected Results:
A[

Pressing the ALT key should not highlight the content of the dialog box lines.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
While one keeps the ALT key pressed, one can go on typing ALT characters. Once
one releases it and presses it again, one cannot add anything, for the
above-mentioned reason.

I seem to remember that this is an old bug; I think I have seen it in v. 5.0.
