Bug selecting text using the API

users
#1

Tested using LO 6.2.0.3 on Fedora Linux.

I wanted to find all instances of Italic text using the API and select that text. I created a simple document with four areas that were Italic. I used the following macro and, although FindAll does return all italic text, it only selects the last three instances and not the first one.

My example had two instances in normal text and two instances in a text table.

If I have more than once instance, it ignores the first. If I have ONLY one instance of Italic text, it will select the text.

Sub FindItalic_all
  Dim oDescriptor  'The search descriptor
  Dim oFound       'The found range
  Dim SrchAttributes(0) as new com.sun.star.beans.PropertyValue

SrchAttributes(0).Name = "CharPosture"
  SrchAttributes(0).Value =  com.sun.star.awt.FontSlant.ITALIC
'  SrchAttributes(0).Name = "CharFontName"
'  SrchAttributes(0).Value =  "Comic Sans MS"

oDescriptor = ThisComponent.createSearchDescriptor()
  oDescriptor.SetSearchAttributes(SrchAttributes)

oFound = ThisComponent.findAll(oDescriptor)

'  Dim i As Integer
'  for i = 0 To oFound.Count - 1
'    Print oFound.getByIndex(i).getString(i)
'  Next
  Thiscomponent.getCurrentController.select(oFound)
End Sub

Hi...

Can you share your document?

Best regards

I confirm the same bug, with Python:

    from com.sun.star.beans import PropertyValue
    from com.sun.star.awt.FontSlant import ITALIC

    doc = XSCRIPTCONTEXT.getDocument()

    opt = (PropertyValue(Name='CharPosture', Value=ITALIC),)
    descriptor = doc.createSearchDescriptor()
    descriptor.setSearchAttributes(opt)

    found = doc.findAll(descriptor)
    doc.CurrentController.select(found)

Always select len(found) - 1

I search if bug is reported, but not found any.

Best regards

Thanks for testing. We now have three instances where this fails.

If you still want the document I can send it, but, I think that the list strips attachments I would need to send it to you directly
