I genuinely thought you were saying "Although our views are compatible, you are wrong." Because I felt you were saying that, I felt mildly annoyed. I was not misquoting you to mislead or to put words in your mouth: my abbreviated summary was to express how I interpreted your words. I'm happy that you did not mean them as I read them, and quoted (an excerpt to highlight the meaning I saw). Perhaps I'm reading more into your statements than I should. I do not assume you must follow my suggestions about how to fix this bug, or any other. In general (and in this case too), I would assume that because you are an expert on Writer compared to me, that your idea how to fix it would be correct. Maybe I'm wrong, but I think the part where you are proposing some ideas for fixing this bug are: "Simply allowing users to search for "bold applied not only directly, but also using character style" would most probably emphasize the *wrong* philosophy of working on documents: e.g., finding "bold" (from style) and applying "non-bold italic" (as direct formatting) using F&R would make the document a mess of direct formatting over styles ... something to be discouraged." I can't comment on that because I don't understand direct formatting and Writer's styles deeply enough to really grasp the problem you're explaining. "But not allowing to search for styles is also bad. My preferred solution thus would be to separate searching for character styles (by name, not by "bold"), and marking attribute search as "direct formatting only" for clarity." I think I understand this suggestion; and it seems a good solution to me.</pre> </div> <hr> You are receiving this mail because: <ul> <li>You are the assignee for the bug.</li> </ul> </body> </html>
