| Summary | 0011369: Scribus doesn't show the search results outside the viewport or outside of linked textframe | ||||
| Description | As far as i can experiment it, scribus do not show the results of its search. It might hilight the result with selection, but when it is outside viewport, scribus leaves it as is, and result is left secret. Scribus should move the viewport to the result. | ||||

More explanations : Imagine you have a big text frame and a big zoom : viewport only display part of the frame or imagine you have 3 linked text frames : viewport only displays first text frame When searching a string, the answer (the found string) could be *outside* the viewport (not displayed). Problem is that in such a situation, Scribus do not scroll to this "found" position. So the search might have succeeded and found the string, but it is not possible to use the result since it remains hidden ! The viewport should move to the "found" position, so it is possible to see it. |

Same happens when double-clicking on the footnotes REcall in the footnote frame : focus is brought to footnote call in the main text frame, but this place might be out of the viewport because viewport is centered on the center of the frame. The (not called or not existing yet) "move viewport to precise edit place" function should be used there too. |

Actually this is at least two issues which I can both confirm: - the search & replace dialog doesn't bring the matched result into viewport if it's not yet there. - when searching in linked text frames, the result is only highlighted if it happens to be in the active text frame. - when doing a replace operation in linked text frames, even if it happens to be on viewport, the replacement is only displayed if it has taken place in the active text frame. The change can only be observed after the dialog is closed. So what we'd need to do is: - move the first/next search result into viewport - focus and highlight the search result - after any replacement has taken place: redraw the whole viewport or the linked frame that is really affected - when closing the dialog: leave the edit cursor at the current search result with the search result being marked. Even better if the dialog wasn't modal, so it would be possible to do manual corrections, or undo any replacement at once, without closing the search dialog. |
