            Bug ID: 125163
           Summary: Wrong arrows in "find" toolbar
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.5.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: J22Gim at gmail.com

Description:
When I search a phrase or word, the "find toolbar" appears. Next to the search
field there are two arrows (text is from the tooltip text): 
1) "Click to search the next occurrence in upward direction"
2) "Click to search the next occurrence in downward direction"

The problem is, 1 is a DOWNWARD arrow and 2 is a UPWARD arrow!

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Open any writer file with text
2. CTRL+F to open the "find" toolbar
3. see the arrows and the description mentioned in the tooltip 

Actual Results:
Default: 
1) Downward arrow is to "Find previous"
2) Upward arrow is to "Find next"

Extend tip in the Tools-Options-Libreoffice General mark "Extended tips"
1) Tooltip for Downward arrow is "Click to search the next occurrence in upward
direction"
2) Tooltip for Upward arrow is "Click to search the next occurrence in downward
direction"

Expected Results:
I think first we need to agree on a very basic thing, that is a writen document
GROWS DOWNWARD as more pages are added at the END of the document, ok?.
If this is true, then if you want to find the "next" occurrence of anything, by
default you would look for it in the text to the right and BELOW the cursor,
right? If this is true, then there should be a functional equivalence between
these terms: NEXT=DOWNWARD and PREVIOUS=UPWARD

If that is true, then the downward arrow should work to search for (a NEXT)
something DOWNWARD, and the upward arrow should work to search for (a PREVOIUS)
something UPWARD.

It is exactly the opposite as what I see.


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes



Additional Info:
Note: I have elementary icons
