--- Comment #6 from David F Smith <davidjudysmith at gmail.com> ---
I retested under 6.2.2.2, and I now see slightly similar, but slightly
different, behavior from my original report.

Immediately after starting LibreOffice, I opened my test presentation and
performed my test steps 1-5.  At step 4, the word "slide" was highlighted in
the note (as expected), but when I pressed Enter again to find the next
occurrence, the word "slide" was replaced by a newline, showing that it had
been selected for edit.

I undid that change (with Ctrl-Z) and repeated steps 1-5.  This time the
behavior at step 4 was as I originally reported: "slide" was not highlighted in
the note, and additional presses of Enter did nothing.

I closed the presentation and reopened it, and the same thing happened: first
time, "slide" was found on the first note but selected for editing/replacement;
second time, "slide" was not found on the note.

I closed the presentation, exited LibreOffice, restarted LibreOffice, opened
the presentation, and now the behavior is as I originally reported: "slide" is
not found on the first note, using the Enter key as "Find next."

I also noticed that if at step 4, when nothing is highlighted in the note, I
click the "find next" arrow, "slide" is highlighted in the note, but there is
also a blinking edit cursor after the word, so that if I press Enter, the word
is replaced.

My original report listed additional steps that use the "find next" arrow.  The
behavior that I see now is identical to what I reported originally: when "find
next" moves to the first note, "slide" is not highlighted.  A second click
highlights "slide" in the first note, but now I see that there is a blinking
cursor after the word, so that again, if I press Enter, the word is replaced.

Apologies for the lengthy comment.  In summary, the behavior that I see under
6.2.2.2 is very similar to what I originally reported and is not what I
consider to be correct.  "Find next," whether with the Enter key or the arrow,
acts inconsistently when switching from slides to notes.
