            Bug ID: 138320
           Summary: search-string menu should open with the LAST search,
                    not the first menu item
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.1.0.0.alpha1+
          Hardware: All
                OS: All
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: TorrAB at Yahoo.com

Description:
When beginning a search (^f)search-string menu opens at the first item, eg,
‘aa’ if user searched successively for ‘aa’, ‘bb’ and ‘cc’. The menu should
open instead with the LAST search, eg, ‘bb’ (which may not be the last menu
item), because:
        * it's more likely for the user to repeat the last search rather than
the first one done in the work session; (If he|she does want the first menu
item, he|she can select it, and it becomes the last-used item!)
        * if the search is automatic, eg, via a AutoHotKey script, the user
does not have a chance to reject the first menu item if it's not wanted.


Steps to Reproduce:
1.Do 2 (or more) different searches
begin another search (^f)

3.

Actual Results:
Menu opens at the first item.

Expected Results:
Menu should open at last search


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
none
