            Bug ID: 137210
           Summary: Edit --> Fields... fails to highlight or otherwise
                    indicate the current field while navigating forward
                    and backward, making locating the field in question
                    cumbersome and slow.
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 7.0.1.2 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Windows (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer

Description:
Edit --> Fields... (in Writer) fails to highlight or otherwise indicate the
current field while navigating forward and backward, making locating the field
in question cumbersome and slow.  This is particularly problematic in large,
text-heavy documents containing many fields.  Neither IBM Lotus Symphony nor
Apache OpenOffice has such an issue, but it is a result of poor programming
changes in LibreOffice's Edit Fields dialogue.  Please fix this so that
LibreOffice is more usable for fields-laden documents.

Steps to Reproduce:
1.Locate a field, and then go to Edit --> Fields...
2.Use the left and right "arrow" (triangle) buttons to move to the prior or
next field in the document.
3.Notice that the current field in the document is NOT highlighted, the cursor
is NOT blinking or visible near it, and you have to actually READ through all
the text on the page to try to locate the field in question.  That's a total
pain and a waste of time and productivity.

Actual Results:
The current field is NOT evident when moving to it.

Expected Results:
As in Apache OpenOffice 4.x and IBM Lotus Symphony 3, the current field to
which one has navigated using the Edit Fields dialogue's previous or next
button should be made obvious by being highlighted or evidently selected, but
that is NOT occurring even in the latest version of LibreOffice.  


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: No



Additional Info:
OpenGL is NOT enabled.
