            Bug ID: 134696
           Summary: Find and Replace function places found item sometimes
                    off the visible page portion
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.1.6.3 release
          Hardware: x86-64 (AMD64)
                OS: Linux (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: resoftp at gmail.com

Description:
on successive manual use of Find & Replace function, whioe working through a
text, it will regularly fail to scroll the visible portion of the text to
include the item found by the function.
This necessitates moving focus from the Search & Replace dialogue to the text
window (to try and scroll to where the function has highlighted the next item);
 but when this happens, the highlighting of the item is removed, frustrating
the process altogether.
Consequently a workaround entails a complicated prosess of switching focus,
scrolling, repositioning cursor in the text and moving focus back to Find &
Replace

Steps to Reproduce:
1. initiate a Find & Replace on a piece of text that spans at least two pages
(i.e., that has portions outside the visible window) and that contains a the
same item in several places throught (the word "the" is a good candidate)
2. set it to find the candidate item
3. observe when the next item is oof the bottom of the visible portion

Actual Results:
above should be sufficient

Expected Results:
see above


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
It should scroll the text so that the next item found by the function is moved
up suffciently  for it to be within the visible portion
