            Bug ID: 142219
           Summary: find-next and find-backwards not consistent
           Product: LibreOffice
           Version: 6.0.0.3 release
          Hardware: All
                OS: Mac OS X (All)
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: medium
         Component: Writer
          Assignee: libreoffice-bugs at lists.freedesktop.org
          Reporter: birnbach at posteo.de

Description:
CTRL-F opens a search field on the bottom of the current text page which
permits entering a search term. Repeated search can be achieved with CTRL-G and
repeated backwards-search with CTRL-SHIFT-G. 

However, this works only while the little search field is displayed. Otherwise,
CTRL-SHIFT-G does nothing. 

Also, CTRL-G sometimes goes up instead of down. If the last search with the
search field open was a backwards search, pressing CTRL-G with a closed search
field will perform a backwards search instead of a forward search.

Steps to Reproduce:
The real problem is that CTRL-G and CTRL-SHIFT-G do not work for "find next"
and "find previous" with the quick search field closed as they do with the
field open. 

However, here is how to reproduce the wrong-direction-search:
1. create a document with this text:
foo bar something foo bar foo baz more foo something foo else foo blah
2. press CTRL-F to bring up the quick search field on the bottom of the
document
3. enter 'foo' as the text to search for
4. press CTRL-SHIFT-G repeatedly and note how the found occurrences jumps
backwards through the text
5. press ESC to close the search field
6. press CTRL-G 

Actual Results:
found occurrences jumps through text in backward direction

Expected Results:
found occurrences jumps through text in forward direction


Reproducible: Always


User Profile Reset: Yes
