            Bug ID: 114013
           Summary: Compound string in Writer: "Text Format " + "(Search)"
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: unspecified
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: trivial
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: mihhkel at gmail.com

Stumbled across a compound string while updating translation for upcoming 6.0
version. It's the title of "search format" dialog (In Writer, choose Edit -
Find & Replace - Other options - Format...).

"Text Format " = key-ID 2nKNE, location: searchformatdialog.ui:8
"(Search) = key-ID AbxGn, location: strings.hrc:1205

Compound strings are bad (ask any translator), so this should be substituted
with a proper single string: "Text Format (Search)", or better yet, "Search
Text Format".

Apparently it has been like this for long time (and it actually used to be
worse: "Text Format(Search)" - note the missing space), so I'm not sure about
the earliest affected version (inherited from OOo?).
